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.

Healthy Minds Network
Healthy Minds is our professional network for those working in, or interested in, mental health improvement and anti-stigma work across NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. The network meets quarterly, and members come from those with an interest or remit for mental health and wellbeing within NHSGGC. This includes Local Authorities, voluntary / third sector, local workplaces, and others.
Network Aims
- Engage those with an interest or remit for mental health and wellbeing within NHSGGC, Local Authorities, voluntary / third sector, local workplaces, and others.
- Share best practice, information and disseminate evidence-based and evidence-informed practice.
- Provide an opportunity for seed funding for local initiatives (particularly anti-stigma related to mental ill health) and to identify other available funding sources.
- Provide opportunities for ‘joined up’ working on issues of local, regional and national interest.
For more information on the network, please email us at ggc.mhead@ggc.scot.nhs.uk*.
