At EDAMH, we are committed to promoting positive mental health and emotional wellbeing across East Dunbartonshire. We provide Person centred support that aims to assist individuals experiencing mental health challenges to build resilience, improve wellbeing, and achieve personal goals. Our approach focuses on early intervention, recovery, and empowering people to take control of their mental health in a supportive and non-judgemental environment.

We offer tailored support that recognises the unique circumstances and needs of each individual. Through one-to-one support and group peer support, we help people develop coping strategies, build confidence and reduce isolation.

Prevention and early support are at the heart of what we do. By providing accessible information, and opportunities to learn practical wellbeing skills, we help individuals better understand their mental health and how to improve their wellbeing.
