Children's Health Scotland: Delivering Self-Management Skills Programmes in Scotland

We know the impact of living with a disability and chronic illness can be severe, overwhelming, and isolating. Children and young people are at risk from social isolation, difficulty in making friends, poor mental health and wellbeing, and poor educational and career outcomes due to missing school. A grant from the Pixel Fund is helping Children's Health Scotland deliver Self-Management Skills (SMS) Programmes and a monthly online HUB to children and young people living with disabilities and/or chronic illnesses.
