We’ve been busy building #community throughout #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. We led a group creating a newsflash for the peer support community across mental health services, and hosted a craft night to celebrate our collective commitment to recovery, socialise and create art.

We were honoured to be invited to @UofGlasgow to hear from a group of International Strategic Marketing students who chose Penumbra as their case study. It was invigorating to see our work through a different lens, and the students presented an excellent piece of course work.

You don't need to be an expert to listen. If you know someone is experiencing distress you might be worried they are having thoughts of suicide. What if a conversation could save a life?.

Penumbra shares in the sadness of our colleagues across Scotland's addictions, inequalities and human rights sectors where Christina strived to ensure hope was always front and centre and recovery was always possible.
First Minister @JohnSwinney has paid tribute to Christina McKelvie, following the sad news of her passing. The long-standing MSP served in many Ministerial posts, most recently as the Minister for Drugs and Alcohol Policy.
