For some people talking about mental health problems is very difficult.
Although 25% of the population of Scotland will experience these difficulties in one form or another during their lifetime, there is still a stigma associated with mental illness.
Social isolation can sometimes be a result as ‘friends’ shy away, and family struggle to understand.
COMPANIONS can help people who feel lonely and isolated by giving support, company, and
understanding in difficult times.
