About us
The Mental Health Improvement Team are a Greater Glasgow and Clyde Board wide team who support our colleagues and partners across the six Health and Social Care Partnership areas; Glasgow City, Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire, West Dunbartonshire, East Dunbartonshire and Inverclyde to deliver on the public mental health agenda. We are part of the wider Mental Health, Alcohol and Drugs Health Improvement team.
We use our evidence-based mental health improvement and early intervention frameworks (Adult and Child/Youth) to guide this work.
Our work spans across the life course, from infant and maternal health through to older adults and is underpinned by:
- Tackling poverty.
- Disadvantage and inequalities.
- Eliminating discrimination.
- Promoting and protecting human rights.

Network Aims
