Walking the Highlands for Mental Health
To help raise awareness of the Discovery College’s FREE walk-in, face-to-face support services, Jamie Bird, Support Mentor of The Discovery College is taking on the challenge of walking around 105 miles from the Discovery College in Wick all the way to the Discovery College in Inverness.
“I know what it feels like to struggle and not know where to turn. For many people across the Highlands, having someone there to listen, support, and guide them can make all the difference. That’s why the work of Discovery College matters so much to me.
Discovery College supports people across the Highlands every single day, offering hope, connection, and practical support when it’s needed most.
As a Peer Support Mentor, I’ve seen firsthand how important this support can be. I’ve seen people rebuild confidence, reconnect with others, and begin to believe in themselves again. These services are free, accessible, and genuinely life-changing, but they can only continue with support from people like you.
This walk will be both physically and mentally challenging for me.
I’m asking for your support to help raise funds for the Discovery Colleges in both Caithness and Inverness so they can continue helping people across our Highland communities. Whether you can donate, share this page, or simply encourage me along the way, it would mean the world”.
