ALLIANCE Live Round-Up January

Catch up on the various videos and podcasts that have been released throughout January as part of ALLIANCE Live.

The ALLIANCE Concert for Caring Highlights

Our Concert for Caring was an opportunity to celebrate the immeasurable work of unpaid carers, and the contribution of health and social care and third sector organisations that support many people to live well. After two successful concerts in 2014 and 2019, we brought together 1750 people from across Scotland to join us for an evening of performances from some of Scotland’s finest musical talents, as well as stories from our great community of caring. Special thanks to our Partners – without their support none of this would be possible.

Changes in your body’s hormone levels before your period can cause physical and emotional changes. This is often known as Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS).

This webinar is for anyone who wants to learn about why PMS happens, about common symptoms and how to manage them, particularly the symptoms that can affect mental health.
