What’s The Point?
SAMH produce a seasonal magazine called The Point. It claims to be an Alternative Voice on Mental Health Issues and always carries several articles that are well worth a read.
Their Winter 2009 issue has an article about the Suicide Prevention work led by the Scottish Government and Choose Life. Of particular note is SAMH’s decision to bring back their publication “After a Suicide”. It has been revised, updated and republished with help from Choose Life and can be downloaded from http://www.samh.org.uk. Alternatively, you can request a print version by phoning 0800 917 3466.

A second article in this edition looks at some individuals use of the internet to help both themselves and others get through the turmoil of mental health difficulties. A couple of the blogs they refer to were already in our links library, but now I’ve added a couple more!
