The sun was shining on Chrysalis last Thursday as volunteers, participants and staff came together for a special celebration☀️.

Chrysalis, a therapeutic garden in Broughty Ferry, supports the local community's mental health and wellbeing through gardening and a range of outdoor activities. The event brought everyone together to enjoy creative writing, arts activities, delicious food and, of course, some gardening in the beautiful surroundings of Dawson Park.

It was a wonderful day of creativity, connection and community, celebrating the people who make Chrysalis such a special place. 💚🌱

"I think people our age will really benefit from having somewhere we can go to easily access proper support."

Eilidh from our Young People's Panel shares how important The Nook is for young people, and recently visited our new hub in Aberdeen.

"It can be really hard to seek help if you're struggling, and when you do you might face barriers like waiting lists and confusing systems.

"With The Nook, you can walk in when you feel ready and someone will be there to help you there and then.

"It also provides help to people supporting a loved one with poor mental health, which I think will be so important for people across the North East.”

The Nook is open for any young person aged 10+, providing immediate mental health support and a safe place to chat 🧡

We're open in Aberdeen and Glasgow seven days a week - https://www.samh.org.uk/about-us/the-nook

"I’ve come out of my shell and found a new lease of life again."

Will popped into The Nook for support after struggling to find a direction in his life, as well as dealing with depression and bereavements.

"I struggled for enthusiasm in my life. I watched a lot of daytime TV, my daily hygiene was lacking, and my social life was non-existent.

"After weeks of encouragement and many deliberations I finally plucked up the courage to visit The Nook. I was greeted by one of the volunteers, Louise, who was kind, polite, and put me at ease.

"One of The Nook’s practitioners, Amber, introduced herself and I spilled all my problems to her, and even got teary, but Amber reassured me this was normal and they could help.

"Visiting The Nook is great. You know the faces and everyone is so friendly. It’s really helped me open up more about life, opportunities, and what I have planned for the future."
