Scotland: Childrens Mental Health Week - Forces Children Scotland and Armed Forces Covenant Fund co-produced health and wellbeing resources for young people.

Co-produced digital mental health and wellbeing resources with and for young people from armed forces and veteran families.
Many children and young people told us being in an armed forces or veteran family can lead to unique challenges when it comes to mental health and wellbeing.
They also said civilian friends, teachers and decision-makers don’t understand how the lives they lead can impact how they can feel on day-to-day basis.
We listened and secured funding from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund to work directly with children and young people to make our Your Mind Matters Hub happen.
