The plan was a key part of Nicola Sturgeon's Programme for Government

Hundreds of extra nurses and counsellors are to be brought into schools across Scotland to help pupils cope with mental health problems, amid concerns over “devastating” waiting times.

The plans will see 600 extra specialist mental health staff working in the nation’s schools, colleges and universities over the next five years, backed by £100m of Scottish Government funding.
