LAUNCH OF THE NEW CREATING HOPE AWARDS
The Mental Health Improvement and Suicide Prevention Steering Group has now launched the new ‘Creating Hope Awards’ scheme for mentally healthy and suicide safer communities. Over the past year we have developed the awards alongside partners and those with lived and living experience.
We are grateful for all the contributions and enthusiasm in developing the awards. Many groups have been testing parts of the process and feeding back - particular thanks go to Lynsay and Borders Care Voice who worked with us every step of the way to make sure the application process for the awards is as smooth as possible. Congratulations to Lynsay, Jenny and the team at Borders Care Voice who have received the first Creating Hope Award! We are also delighted that NHS24 service Breathing Space has lent their support to the awards scheme.
We’re keen to encourage all groups, teams and organisations to work towards an award and help us to build more mentally healthy and suicide safer communities in the Borders.
