SAMH operates an information service from
Monday to Friday between the hours of 2pm and
4.30pm. Information service staff can answer general mental
health enquiries, advise you on your rights and signpost you to
your local services. Unfortunately we cannot provide medical
advice, counselling, financial advice or representation, but we can
point you in the direction of someone else who may be able to help
you.

enquiry to us at: info@samh.org.uk.
