Catriona and I had a fabulous session tonight with Shetland 1st Responders (Fire and Rescue, Police, Coastguard, Red Cross and Ambulance) exploring how to Create space for distress. Amazing group of compassionate, caring people. Part of our @ScotRecoveryNet Shetland visit.

Men United offer weekly peer support groups for men, a mentoring and befriending service, motivational workshops and speaking events.
They're a vital peer support service in their community, giving men the opportunity to open up, and realise they're not alone. ❤️

Check out this amazing quilt based on @ScotRecoveryNet Creating Hope with Peer Support project. Made by members of @InTheKnowInv have watched this grow and it's not just the message in the quilt but also the meaningful conversations as people worked together. Impressive work!
