I would like to find out the following information about any i) educational or awareness raising activities relating to mental health or emotional/psychological wellbeing, or ii) suicide prevention activities aimed at people under 18 that you fund in East Renfrewshire:
• The focus of the activity, i.e. mental health awareness raising or suicide prevention
