ACTION PLAN 2018-2021 Our Promoting Wellbeing Action Plan 2017-20 is now available to view online. The plan presents a whole-college approach to supporting the positive wellbeing of all students and staff. The Promoting Wellbeing Action Plan 2017-20 was produced by the Promoting Wellbeing Group, which includes a cross-section of staff, the Student Association, our Mental Health Liaison Officer, our Alcohol and Drugs Liaison Officer, and an NHS Ayrshire and Arran Health Improvement Officer. In recent years the number of students who have declared having a mental health condition has increased. There are three outcomes to the plan: Our college values are to be respectful, supportive and open and honest. The promotion of positive mental wellbeing and the tackling of stigmas around mental health is the responsibility of us all.
