If it’s okay to not be okay, why are many people still hiding how they feel? We’re supporting See Me’s #IfItsOkay campaign to call for more support and understanding of mental illness to help address the shame which people continue to face. seemescotland.org/ifitsokay

We're demanding politicians from all parties lead with compassion and clarity after days of unjustified announcements drastically impacting those with mental health challenges.

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.

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? youtu.be/cruZ_svP3FE?si…

We were honoured to be invited to University of Glasgow 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.
