The Scottish Development Centre for Mental Health aims to improve mental health and well being for individuals and communities in Scotland and enhance services and supports for people with mental health problems. We do this by providing services that offer training, information sharing and learning, research and evaluation, and support for change and development. SDC is an independent not-for-profit organisation, established in 1997.

Please follow the links to the left to find details of our current research and training programmes, our service development consultancy service and information about our events and publications. If you or someone you know is currently experiencing distress, you may want to have a look at our separate links page.
