Young Persons Development Network

abrdn's Young Persons’ Development Network was set up by young people, for young people, to offer equal access to opportunities and events regardless of your entry route or business area.

Our main objective is to make the most of the 'early careers' experience at abrdn, by providing opportunities for members to develop, network, innovate, and give back to their local community.

Mental Health Network

Our Mental Health network aims to raise awareness of mental health, increase understanding and break the stigma surrounding it. It also takes a proactive approach by supporting colleagues, if they wish, to take positive steps toward building and maintaining healthy lifestyles and promoting mental health as a critical part of overall wellness.

Additionally they aim to raise the awareness that mental health affects all of us.
