@ease
What is @ease? Talking about mental health can be really hard, especially if you're young. Website-based @ease is a new mental health resource for young people under stress or worried about their thoughts and feelings. Why young people need @ease... There is so much to cope with — exams, starting work for the first time, relationships, drugs, leaving home... At times it can be really stressful and this is when young people are vulnerable to becoming ill. Many young people are frightened to ask for help because they don't understand what's happening to them. Often, they don't realise they are ill — only that something is wrong. Knowing where to get the right information can be difficult, but with @ease it's easy. You can BBC News - UK life blamed for ethnic schizophrenia

The National Schizophrenia Fellowship was set up in London in 1972 on the initiative of John Pringle who wrote to The Times about the dilemma of carers of people who had schizophrenia. Many people replied and the Fellowship was born, with the aim of providing mutual help and support for carers. Professional people then offered to help and users also joined.Local self help groups were set up around the country including Scotland.
Scottish members separated from the main body in London in 1984 and became the National Schizophrenia Fellowship (Scotland). Although it works in collaboration with the organisation in London, it is completely autonomous, being responsible for its own policy, projects and funding.
