Secondary school pupils will be taught to recognise signs of mental health issues in their friends and family in a new initiative from a first aid charity.
St Andrew’s First Aid has created the new Ready for Life programme for young people aged 14 and over to help create a generation of “mental health first aiders”.
It will be piloted in five local authority areas: South Lanarkshire, North Lanarkshire, Dundee, Glasgow and East Renfrewshire and it is hoped the scheme will be rolled out across the country if it is a success.
