Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) Health Improvement Team is promoting health and wellbeing to local S3 students. Laura Stephenson, senior health improvement off cer for the HSCP, said: ‘This is a preventative programme which promotes safety and wellbeing.’
HSCP is working closely with the third sector, education, health and social care colleagues, and a range of other organisations to provide an insightful health programme aimed to raise awareness and defeat stigma surrounding physical, sexual and mental health. Now, two years since the programme was first piloted, more than 850 S3 pupils across Argyll and Bute have taken part.
Provided teacher lesson plans, group workshops, pupil booklets, a drama performance and a questionand- answer session make raising health and wellbeing awareness enjoyable and relevant for youth and service providers.
