Mental health support
Mental health problems can affect anyone but women and girls often face extra pressure including:
- being a carer
- stress about money
- discrimination – this means being treated unfairly or worse than other people for some reason
- loneliness
- fear of violence
The Scottish Government plans to have more mental health support in schools, colleges, and communities.
They want to make it easier to get help early, before problems get more serious.
They are also putting money into services that women can get in their local areas.
