That the Parliament commends Saint Phnx band members, Stevie and Alan Jukes, from Wishaw, for their delivery of mental health music workshops to schools across Lanarkshire; understands that the Happy Place workshops focus on teaching kids how music can help with their mental health and anxiety; further understands that the workshops were inspired by their song, Happy Place, which was written following the death of their dad; acknowledges what it sees as the power of music and how it can help to manage emotions and bring people together, and wishes Stevie and Alan all the best in achieving their goal to host a Happy Place festival, which will introduce and empower young people to participate in and enjoy live music.
