Welcome to RAMH.

We are an independent organisation which aims to enable people to recover from mental ill health and to promote wellbeing.

NEWS

This is for you …. Crisis Card

The RAMH FIRST Crisis Service has recently won a bid from the Renfrewshire Community Health Partnership (CHP) Bright Ideas Fund to re-launch the This is for you …. Crisis Card, within Renfrewshire. The Crisis Card was originally developed by RAMH in conjunction with the Choose life initiative, as part of the Scottish Government’s 10year strategy to reduce suicide in Scotland by 20 per cent by the year 2013.

RAMH propose to distribute and promote the Crisis Cards to multi-agency professionals within the Renfrewshire area. The organisation aims to raise the profile of the Crisis Card throughout Scotland, in the months leading to Suicide Prevention Week 2011.

The Crisis Card was launched locally, by Derek MacKay MSP on Thursday 28^th July, 1pm at RAMH HQ, 41 Blackstoun Rd, Paisley PA3 1LU.
