Mind Your Head Co-ordinator

We are also proud to announce that Jenny Teale and Jacqui Clark were appointed to the post of Mind Your Head Co-ordinator, on a job-share basis.  Jenny and Jacqui took up post on 1 November 2010 and currently work Mondays 9am-2pm and Thursday 9am-5pm.  The appointment was initially for one year but has been extended to 31 July 2012.

Mind Your Head Self Help Facilitator

In partnership with NHS Shetland, funding from NHS Education Scotland (NES) was secured to employ a full time self help facilitator post to identify and compile self help materials for people suffering from mild to moderate mental health problems.  In December 2009 Jill Hood was recruited to this post on a temporary 2 year contract. The funding from NES and Mind Your Head has now come to an end and Jill will continue working in the Self Help Facilitator role for NHS Shetland.  In addition to this Jill will remain as an advisor to the Mind Your Head committee.  Jill is based within the Mental Health Department, Lerwick Health Centre.
