THE Scottish Crofting Federation (SCF) has welcomed the announcement that Scottish Government will continue to support the National Rural Mental Health Forum with a grant of £50,000.
‘Mental health is something we don’t talk enough about, said Patrick Krause, chief executive of the Scottish Crofting Federation, ‘and perhaps especially so in rural communities.
‘Yet our mental health is, of course, just as significant to our wellbeing as our physical health. The National Rural Mental Health Forum has been raising awareness of mental health with great success and it is good that this work is recognised by the Scottish Government.’
