Supporting Safer Transitions of Care in Mental Health

The NHS Tayside Quality and Safety Forum is undertaking an improvement project aimed at reducing potential harm and improving the experience of people whose care is transferred between NHS Boards.

Safe transitions of care in mental health involve the secure and coordinated movement of individuals between inpatient services, community-based care, correctional facilities, and different NHS Boards. Effective transitions are essential to reducing the risk of self-harm, relapse, gaps in care, and poor outcomes. In Scotland, this work is supported by the Scottish Patient Safety Programme (SPSP).

Capturing lived and living experience is vital to understanding what works well and where improvements can be made. We are keen to hear from people who have experienced transitions of care between NHS Boards, as their insights will help ensure that our approach is truly person-centred and responsive to people's needs.

We hope that your organisation may be able to support us in engaging with individuals who have had these experiences. If you are able to assist, please contact:

[Kathryn Thompson]
[Peer Recovery Worker]
[01382 423050]

Thank you for your support in helping us improve the safety and quality of care transitions for people accessing mental health services.

ASH Scotland are developing new resources to better support people who use nicotine products with their mental health. To ensure these resources are relevant and genuinely helpful, they wish to hear directly from the individuals these resources will impact.

They have created a short anonymous survey (around 10 minutes) that explores nicotine use, mental health experiences, and what kind of support would be most useful. It is open to anyone, whether they currently use nicotine, have used it in the past, or are thinking about quitting. This survey is directed at people from the age of 9 years and above.

The survey is completely confidential, voluntary, and participants can stop at any time. No personal details are collected.

Here is the link and the QR code is attached: Nicotine Use and Mental Health Survey – Fill in form

Would it be possible to disseminate the survey to forum colleagues for them to ask if the people they support would like to take part please?

20th August at 10:00 am – 1:00 pm

Virtual Training Session

£15.00 – £35.00

This training explores the growing influence of networked misogyny and its relevance to violence against women and girls.

Designed for frontline practitioners, this session will help participants:

Recognise key forms of networked misogyny

Understand the links between online narratives and offline harm

Strengthen risk assessment and safety planning

Apply an intersectional approach to supporting survivors

EASE App for disabled people in employment

EASE is an app for disabled people in employment, click here to find out more.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.provider_name
SUSE - Scottish Union of Supported Employment

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
You can identify the areas most important to you in your current employment and answer a few simple questions to help identify how things are going.

If it appears you need support in a particular area, the app will know this by your score. It will provide links to relevant services and information which can provide support. By creating a personal user profile, this will tailor the app and ensure the resource links are relevant for you, e.g. you will only be shown services which are in the area you live.

However the app is not just for use when there is an issue at work, it's there to help you keep on track when things are going well.

The app will provide motivational messages, resources to help maintain wellbeing and tips for career progression. You will also be given top tips, reminders and updates to keep you engage and motivated to find solutions if and when required. You will have access to your personal resource bank at any time - where you can select your favourite resources for quick access.
View the Easy Read guide to downloading and using the EASE app. Here's how the EASE App developed...
The EASE App is for disabled workers to check their wellbeing based on a range of challenges people may face in employment, and get help quickly if needed. Its purpose is to facilitate Early Action to Sustain Employment (EASE).

In 2025 the SUSE team secured funding for the development of the EASE App in Scotland. This phone application will encourage individuals to assess their wellbeing, request support, and prevent employment challenges. We are thrilled to be at the forefront of self-management activities and look forward to making a real impact with this project.

EASE has been made possible via the Scottish Government funding administered by The Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland (the ALLIANCE). The Self Management Fund for Scotland aims to empower people living with long term conditions, disabled people and unpaid carers to take control their health, care and wellbeing.

The project, which will be delivered over the next three years, began by engaging with our EASE App Delivery Team. The team are a group of SUSE members and partners, including Your Options Understood (Y.O.U), Alliance for Inclusion, Arthritis UK and the Experience Network, working together to bring their expertise and lived experience to ensure the app is accessible and the resources are targeted and useful.

Anonymous information from the app will also help us learn how to provide better employment support for disabled people in work, a group that is often overlooked.
Interested in this work?
You can now download the app from your app store by searching 'suse ease app'. If you would like to help us improve and develop the app by answering some short questions, please complete the form below or contact us at info@susescotland.scot.

Information is also available in Easy Read:

For over 30 years Dundee Rep have been at the forefront of a very special form of psychotherapy that uses creative approaches borrowed from the theatre to help people with their mental health.

Ben Lawrie is joined by Lizzie Palmer from Dundee Rep's Dramatherapy service to discuss how dramatherapy can work for some people where other approaches haven't.

Lizzie also talks about common misconceptions and the challenges of delivering dramatherapy for people in prison.

Ben and Lizzie take a tour of the Dramatherapy space at Dundee Rep before settling in to the studio chat.

# data[].attributes.body
Editors Introduction

Welcome to Issue 62 of the Dundee Partnership E-Bulletin.

One of the strongest messages emerging from partnership work across Dundee is the importance of listening to communities and ensuring that local voices help shape the decisions we make together. Whether through the recent Whole Family Support focussed Dundee Partnership Forum, community-led research, engagement with residents, or the development of Dundee's next City Plan, partners continue to place people and communities at the heart of our work.

The content of this edition reflects that commitment. Alongside updates on the Dundee Partnership's future direction, including the development of a new Partnership Charter and work to tackle poverty and inequality, you will find examples of organisations working collaboratively to improve opportunities and outcomes across the city. These range from employability and skills initiatives to housing advice, community events, health programmes and opportunities to influence local and national policy.

As Dundee prepares for the next chapter in its partnership planning, it is vital that we continue to build on what communities tell us, celebrate what is working well, and work together to address the challenges that remain. We hope the stories, opportunities and resources featured in this issue help inform, inspire and strengthen that collective effort.

Paul Davies,

Senior Community Planning Officer,

Dundee Partnership Team

LGBT Youth Scotland: Life in Scotland for LGBTQ+ Young People Research

LGBT Youth Scotland: Life in Scotland for LGBTQ+ Young People Research

# data[].attributes.body
This survey will close at 9am on Monday 5th October.

We’re excited to launch our latest Life in Scotland for LGBTQ+ Young People survey!

We need your help to make sure as many eligible young people as possible have the chance to take part.

This survey matters because it helps turn young people’s experiences into real change.

Every five years, LGBT Youth Scotland gathers evidence about the lives of LGBTQ+ young people aged 13–25 living in Scotland. The findings are used by politicians, policy makers, youth workers, funders and public services to better understand what life is like for LGBTQ+ young people — and where action is needed.

The 2026/2027 research will give us an up-to-date picture of the issues young people are facing today, while also allowing us to compare experiences across the last 15 years.

The last Life in Scotland for LGBT Young People report (2022) showed why this work is so important:

·        1,279 LGBT young people shared their experiences, making it the largest response to the Life in Scotland survey ever.

·        Only 10% of participants rated their experience of school as good, showing why education remains a critical area for change.

·        The report showed that most areas asked about had not improved since previous research in 2017, meaning fresh evidence is needed to understand current experiences and keep pressure on decision-makers.

·        The research helps track change over 20 years, comparing young people’s experiences across 2007, 2012, 2017 and 2022.

The evidence gathered will help us:

·        Show decision-makers including the Scottish Government, Police Scotland, the NHS, education partners and others what LGBTQ+ young people in Scotland need right now

·        Identify where support, services and policy change are most needed

·        Adapt LGBT Youth Scotland’s services so they respond to the needs of young people

·        Inform training, resources, consultation responses and work with national partners

·        Strengthen funding applications for services that support LGBTQ+ young people

Who can take part?

The survey is open to young people aged 13–25 who identify as LGBTQ+ and live in Scotland.

Click here to open the survey.

It asks about key parts of life in Scotland, including community, safety, health, education, coming out, work, living situations, representation, media and equality. Some questions invite young people to share their experiences in their own words.

How long does it take?

The survey takes around 20-40 minutes to complete, with a ‘return later’ function so young people can come back to it after a break.  It is detailed because we want to properly understand the breadth of young people’s experiences — and use that evidence to push for meaningful change.

How you can help

This time, we want to reach more young people than ever before. You can help by taking one or more of the following actions:

·        If you are aged 13–25, identify as LGBTQ+ and live in Scotland, please complete the survey and share your experiences.

·        If you work with young people who may be eligible, please share the survey with them directly.

·        Share the survey across social media, websites, newsletters and partner networks.

·        Display the survey poster and QR code somewhere young people can see it.

·        Find out more on our website here.

·        Share LGBT Youth Scotland’s launch week posts and follow-up posts on Facebook and Instagram.

·        Forward this email to colleagues, partners and networks who can help reach LGBTQ+ young people.

Please help us make sure LGBTQ+ young people’s voices are heard. The more young people who take part, the stronger the evidence will be — and the more powerful it will be in shaping services, policy and support across Scotland.

Thank you for helping us share this important opportunity.

New and improved: the national directory for drug and alcohol services

For around 20 years, SDF has delivered the national directory for drug and alcohol services on behalf of the Scottish Government. Now, we’ve relaunched this important tool to make it easier to find the right support, at the right time.

Our refreshed directory brings together information on drug and alcohol services, alongside injecting equipment provision, in one simple, mobile-friendly platform.

Free and publicly accessible, it helps people seeking support – as well as their friends and family – to find services in their local area.

It’s also a vital tool for professionals in Scotland, helping them connect people with appropriate specialist support.

Women with Chronic Pain - Research Survey

# data[].attributes.body
I’m currently doing doctoral research at Glasgow Caledonian University exploring the experiences of women living with chronic non-cancer pain who are prescribed opioid pain medication (e.g., codeine, tramadol, dihydrocodeine, morphine, oxycodone, hydromorphone, buprenorphine, tapentadol, co-codamol, co-dydramol, oxycodone + naloxone). The study looks at the psychological and lived aspects of pain, including:

Living with ongoing pain

Sleep and coping

Emotional wellbeing

Experiences of prescribed pain medication

I’m running a 20–25 minute anonymous online survey, and I would be really grateful if you could share it with any women you know who might be eligible, or with networks, community groups, or organisations supporting women living with chronic pain. Every response helps build understanding and inform future support.

Here’s the survey link: Opioid Reliance in Women with Chronic Pain

Even a quick share could make a big difference — thank you so much for helping make sure these women’s experiences are heard!

Bipolar Scotland Beyond Diagnosis Service

Beyond Diagnosis is our free one-to-one peer support service, delivered by trained peer workers with lived experience of bipolar. It offers a safe, non-judgemental space for people to talk openly about and understand their experiences and build confidence in managing their mental health. People engaging in peer support find it immensely helpful in accepting their diagnosis and planning for the future.

The service is available across Scotland via phone or online, making it accessible regardless of location.

Many people wait a long time for support or may not feel ready to access clinical services, and peer support can be a really valuable step in helping people feel understood and less alone as well as contributing to reducing the demands on the NHS.

A streamlined two-stage application process

Clearer, more accessible guidance

A stronger focus on supporting development and building relationships

Domestic Abuse Risk Management and MARAC Workshop February – August 2026

Domestic Abuse Risk Management and MARAC Workshop February – August 2026

# data[].attributes.body
Domestic Abuse Risk Management and MARAC Workshop February – August 2026

Since 2018, Dundee City has had the highest level of domestic abuse incidents recorded by police in Scotland at 180 per 10,000 people and compared to the Scottish average at 114 per 10,000 people. With that in mind, domestic abuse risk management and the Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) is vital for reducing dangers to victim/survivors of domestic abuse, where you will learn more about this in this workshop. Please note that this workshop is similar to the Domestic Abuse Risk Management in Young People’s Relationship Workshop in terms of the MARAC processes. This workshop will give more focus to adults in relation to navigating risk and the live risk assessment will be done through an adult perspective; however you are welcome to attend both.

Please see here the dates and times of the in person workshops we’ll be running until August 2026. The sessions will be capped at 15 and will be held in person. We may audit the list of attendees to ensure that a mix of people from different organisations and job roles attend. Venue details and other information will be sent to you by email nearer the time.

Please book your space(s) via this booking form.

If you would like the workshops delivered to specific teams/your organisation of at least 10 people or if you require further information, then please contact [krysta.stoneley@dundeeassist.co.uk].

Safe & Together in Dundee: Online Briefing – May and Sept 2026

Thursday 7 May 2026 10:00-13:00 on Teams.

Tuesday 22 September 2026 13:00-16:00 on Teams.

The Safe & Together Model is a Scottish Government recommended approach aiming to help change how practitioners work with families impacted by domestic abuse. It is an internationally recognised suite of tools and interventions designed to help professionals in child and family serving systems become domestic abuse-informed.

On a more local level, Dundee City Council has also committed to promote the principles of the model in an attempt to curb the rising incidents of domestic abuse seen across both the city and nationally. The Safe & Together Model, as a systems change framework, offers language, thinking and practices that help increase accountability for perpetrators as parents, reduce victim blaming and improve outcomes for children and families. The model aims to address domestic abuse-destructive practices by providing a set of principles and components that can guide domestic abuse-informed practice. These include:

1. Keeping the child safe and together with the non-offending parent

2. Partnering with the non-offending parent as the default position

3. Intervening with the perpetrator to reduce risk and harm to the child

These online briefing sessions raise awareness and provide an overview of the model and its key principles. A Teams link will be sent out to you nearer the time of the session.

More information and updates about Safe & Together in Dundee can be found here: https://sway.office.com/ir9Zc7GEQFnUniSW?ref=Link&loc=mysways.

Please book your space via this booking form.

Positive Steps: Real People, Real Solutions

Established in 1989, Positive Steps has grown to become a major agency dedicated to promoting the health, wellbeing and social lifestyles of vulnerable adults irrespective of gender, ethnicity, culture, religious beliefs or sexual orientation. As a not-for-profit Christian charity based in Scotland, Positive Steps has enabled vulnerable adults locally and internationally to overcome various barriers to sustain their independence through provision of key services: Housing Support, Accommodation Service, Flexi Care, T.A.O.S (Temporary Accommodation Outreach Service) and R.H.P.S (Repeat Homeless Prevention Service) services. Therefore, we have developed services and programmes to support and enable an individual to make an informed choice.

We work with individuals who have a wide range of potential barriers to sustain independent living and are impacted by mental health, learning disabilities, substance misuse, offending behaviour, homelessness and poverty. Sometimes the individuals we work with have to deal with more than one barrier in their lives and we can provide the support, care, accommodation and practical assistance required for people to overcome such barriers to enable vulnerable adults to reach their full potential.

This is where you funding really does provide solutions, learning more about our work and help us to support others. Providing Real People with Real Solutions
