Orcadians to receive mental health support to beat the SAD winter blues

Orcadians are set to benefit from a project that aims to help those who struggle with low mood during the cold and dark winter months.

The University of Glasgow and University of Edinburgh's Wintering Well programme is coming to the Orkney Islands on Sunday, as the clocks go back and days become shorter. Hoping to support those with seasonal affective disorder (SAD), residents will be able to borrow a Wintering Well box from their library.

Each box will contain a therapeutic lamp aimed to counter the effects of low light on mental health during the darker months, along with a guidebook on simple indoor and outdoor activities which can help develop a better winter routine. Residents will also be given access to a free online course to help users tackle the effects of SAD.

Orkney Library Services' mobile library van, known as "Booky McBookface.
