This report looks at the experiences of people in Scotland around self-harm. Self-harm is generally seen as an issue for young people and there are some services for people aged under 21 or 25 in some parts of Scotland. This report focuses on the experiences and views of people aged over 25. People took part in an on-line survey. The next steps and actions points were developed by people who took part in a workshop. The suggestions bring together the experience of people who are affected by self-harm, workers in a wide range of services and people with policy or management responsibilities.

The families in Fife and staff from Outside the Box developed a resource pack for other families to share the ideas and practical experience with people across Scotland who want to support young people with disabilities as they move on to adult life. The pack builds on ideas and practical approaches that apply to the way any community welcomes disabled people. It draws on a wide range of research and practical experience from many projects in Scotland and further afield. It has contact details for many sources of information and support which can help young people as they move from school to adult life. Outside the Box has also written a guide for staff, to help them work with young people and their families, and to develop policies and practices that support and encourage inclusive communities.

A report from a research project funded by the Scottish Executive's National Programme for Improving Mental Health and Well-being Small Research Projects Initiative to explore ways in which services can support the promotion of mental health is presented. The focus was on the range of community-based services with which people with health problems come in contact, including specialist mental health services, other health and social care services and, potentially, the other public and commercial services that are used by everyone. It aimed to identify ways in which community services can promote and support recovery, and to complement other activities that were being planned as part of the overall recovery programme within the National Programme. This project set out to identify the experiences and views of people about what keeps them well and to identify ways in which community services can support people's mental health and well-being.

The project used a diary which carers kept about their contact with services. People kept diaries for 2-4 weeks in early 2006. They described themselves and the person they cared for, and noted what happened each day. Benefits and limitations of the diary approach are highlighted. Access to services for people with dementia and their carers and features of these services, including the attitudes of staff, the range of services, the match between services and that person's needs, awareness about needs of people with dementia, consistency and continuity, and transport are discussed.
