Local contacts – Special Interest Group in Mental Health Improvement
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) exist to provide health promotion staff in Scotland who have specialist remits with opportunities to network, jointly carry out tasks relevant to the topic area and share good practice with their peers in other departments across Scotland.
The aim of the Mental Health Improvement Special Interest Group is to provide support, and to establish a forum for information exchange about good practice and resources, for health promotion officers working in the field of mental health promotion.
