Big news for Think Positive 💬

We’re excited to share that Think Positive is moving to a new home with Student Minds - the UK’s leading student mental health charity.

This next chapter means more opportunities to grow our impact, strengthen our work, and continue supporting students, staff and institutions across Scotland to improve mental health together.

Our mission stays the same: student-led, evidence-based change that works for Scotland. That won’t change, but our ability to deliver it will only get stronger.

We’re proud of everything we’ve achieved so far and can’t wait for what comes next 🧡
