Support and Treatment

People experiencing a mental health problem may at some point need support - whether at the early intervention stage or in times of crisis. We believe you should be able to ask once and get help fast.

But often that’s not the case, with support difficult to access and failing to meet the needs of Scotland’s diverse communities. We’re campaigning to make access to mental health support easier, faster and more effective.
