A week on from celebrating 40 years of @penumbra-scot.bsky.social 💜.
Grateful to everyone who joined us - here's to the next chapter!

This year, we expect to support more than 24,000 people across Scotland, which acts as a powerful reminder of both the scale of need and the impact of compassionate, person-centred support.
Mike reflected on what has shaped Penumbra over the past 40 years - a commitment to values-led practice, the strength of peer support, and the belief that everything we do must have a clear purpose.
Fantastic night at our parliamentary reception, celebrating 40 years of Penumbra Mental Health! 💜
Thank you to everyone who joined our CEO Mike Burns, Chair Sara Robinson, and host Kevin Stewart MSP to celebrate the journey so far and the future we’re building together.
Hope for a better future. 💜
We have moved through the years with the belief that people can find their own way forward, and it’s our job to walk alongside them.
We know it’s important to listen to people when they talk about their mental health, and that support should be personal, flexible, and built on real experience.
We believe that everyone can recover. 💜
We're celebrating a special milestone - 40 years of Penumbra Mental Health.💜
We're using this as an opportunity to look back at where we began, to reflect on how far we've come, and to recognise the people who have shaped our story.
