Advice Pack for Front Line Workers

Supporting those with mental health and money worries: advice for frontline staff 

The Scottish Government Mental Health directorate, in collaboration with Change Mental Health and a number of other partners have developed an info pack for frontline workers on how to best support people experiencing mental health and wellbeing challenges as a result of increased money worries. 

The pack can be used to guide frontline workers to sources of support that they can signpost individuals to or access themselves. It will support staff to access a range of advice and support beyond their own organisations and areas of expertise, including support for their own mental wellbeing.  Please note that it is not intended to be used as a leaflet for frontline advisers to hand out to individuals.
