Last night I joined @cyrenians in marking #WorldHomelessnessDay. The event featured a thought-provoking presentation by Prof Suzanne Fitzpatrick, who highlighted the societal, personal and economic advantages of adopting a prevention approach to homelessness.

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, I want to encourage members of the veteran community to look after their mental health, whether that's everyday steps to improve wellbeing or reaching out for support if you need it. Please remember you’re not alone. Get support at nhsinform.scot/care-support-and-rights/health-rights/access/health-rights-for-veterans/healthcare-support-for-veterans/

At the launch of @nhsggc's Veteran Support Service, with Robert Reid and Margaret Partridge of the @thedmws. This partnership, also involving Glasgow's Helping Heroes, will offer integrated welfare support for veterans and families receiving care from NHSGGC. Congratulations on this great, collaborative initiative.
