Time to Talk Partnership
The Time to Talk partnership has made a significant difference for young people in Edinburgh by bridging clinical and community services and making mental health support more accessible. This innovative, collaboration brings together The Junction, Granton Youth, Wester Hailes Youth Agency, Canongate Youth and 6VT to deliver joined-up support - providing one-to-one provision in community settings and youth workers in NHS emergency departments at weekends. Young people accessing services report improved wellbeing, greater confidence, and stronger family relationships. Crucially, the partnership has strengthened relationships across the voluntary and statutory sectors, creating a more integrated and coordinated support system across Edinburgh.
