Young Person, The Bothy

“The Bothy has changed my life. I hated school and just couldn't deal with a lot of things I had going on but now I can go back to my classes and starting to trust some teachers with what is going on in my life."

Paul, Mental Health Ambassador

"I had no idea this training would change the way I see, treat and help other people. I didn't think mental health was that important. Or relationships. Completely changed me, and now I'm leading mental health sessions at lunch time for other pupils in my school. Thank you for bringing this knowledge to me.”

Mary Kerr, Quality Improvement Officer - East Dunbartonshire Council

“The work that Be-inn Unity has done with schools in our local authority has been transformational. Staff, pupils and their families are all benefiting from this and you can sense it in the schools. It's real. It's raw. It's palpable.”
