This week I spoke to STV about the deterioration of young women's mental health. Women continue to fall through the gaps in government mental health policy. We should provide suitable treatment alternatives in local communities for young women through a person-centred approach.
Important research findings here about the increased poor mental health amongst young women - featuring important research by @rmason717 on the relationship between women’s mental health and the cost of living crisis. Great work

We hope MSP's will make the right decision for young women who deserve the right to access healthcare free from intimidation and harassment on 12 June. You can read our briefing here: .

Our research is imagined and led by young women, for young women. This briefing is based on our consultation response to the Abortion Services (Safe Access Zone) (Scotland) Bill.

At @youngwomenscot we believe the Bill does not seek to stop or ban anti-choice protests or activity, or limit freedom of religious expression. Young women believe that the safe access zone should apply to both pro-choice and anti-choice protests in the interest of fairness.

This week MSP's will vote on Stage 3 of Gillian Mackay's Safe Access Zones Bill. At @youngwomenscot we urge MSP's to pass the Bill and reject amendments that could seriously limit the scope of the Bill to protect abortion clinic users, particularly young women, from harassment.
