Monklands youngsters can access dedicated exam results support when a special helpline launches next month.
Skills Development Scotland (SDS) will offer free “advice, information and guidance” for youths and their parents from 8am on results day, August 6.
Around 135,000 candidates across the country will receive their National, Higher and Advanced Higher results on that day.
James Russell, SDS director of career information, advice and guidance operations, said: “If your results aren’t what you expected, don’t panic – you have lots of options.
“Our careers advisers are here to help you and your parents and carers with information on all the options and opportunities on offer.”

James added: “This year we’ll also have advisers available through social media to answer queries if you find it easier to get in touch via direct messaging.
“If you’d like to talk face-to-face, our careers advisers are available year-round in every state secondary school in Scotland and at SDS’s network of careers’ centres across the country.”
Kathryn Aviss, SDS careers adviser, added: “We are able to support young people to take a step back and realise that, no matter the results, they have options.”
The helpline will be open from 8am to 8pm on Tuesday, August 6, and the following day, as well as from 9am to 5pm weekdays between August 8 and 14; the number to call is 0808 100 8000.
