"MIKEYSLINE" COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN DISTRESS

Early day motion 875, tabled 15 December 2015 by Drew Hendry (Scottish National Party). Signed by 27 members.

That this House commends the establishment of Mikeysline a volunteer and community-led initiative in the Highlands; notes that Mikeysline is aimed at supporting those at risk of self-harm and suicide and in providing a lifeline for young people who feel trapped by issues such as bullying, alcohol, loneliness, depression amongst other issues and drugs, consequently finding it difficult to express their feelings; and believes that the work carried out by organisations such as Mikeysline is a valuable expression of community support for young people in distress.
