iThrive was created to support Thrive Edinburgh, the strategy for improving the mental health and wellbeing of all citizens in Edinburgh.
The Thrive Collaboration offers a fresh and exciting public health approach to urban mental health, built on explicit principles for action that guide, anchor, and align work along the wide breadth of its vision. Aligning with the priorities of the Community Plan, Edinburgh Poverty Commission, and the aspirations of the Regional Deal and City Vision 2050, Thrive Edinburgh offers an opportunity for the Edinburgh to not only reduce the toll of mental health difficulties, but also promote and protect the citizens of Edinburgh’s mental health, resilience, self-esteem, family strength, and joy.
Health in Mind is a mental health charity based in the South East of Scotland, working to provide community-led, trauma-skilled mental health and wellbeing support how and when people need it.

They also offer support across Scotland for people who experienced trauma related to the Scottish care and adoption system.
