Congratulations to Des MacMillan for organising Oban’s first walk to challenge the stigma of mental health.
A range of organisations were represented, including Acumen, You Matter Always, Andy Man’s Club, Mull Safe and Sound Group, SiMBA, Argyll and Bute Rape Crisis, New Hope and Police Scotland. People of all ages from our local communities walked and talked.
Sadly, which organisation wasn’t present? NHS Highland. If mental health is to be placed on an equal footing with physical health then there must be equality of access to NHS provision.
