Dear Louise, just looking for some guidance and advice.  I have been living in Dubai for over a year now.  I have a mental health awareness pack I was working on back in Scotland, this was used in schools and communities (and was also a hit in some European countries).  It’s a fantastic programme and I would really like to bring this into the schools curriculum in the UAE.  How can I go about doing this, any advice? The programme was also a huge success in communities through basic mental health awareness discussions, community conversations and events.  I know it’s not going to be easy, however once this gets started this will be huge.  I have sent over a 100 emails to the government departments in the UAE, but no response.

I would recommend you get in touch with Carmen Benton at LifeWorks Counselling Dubai who has some experience in this matter.  Telephone +971 4 394 2464
