The way you get support from us will be different for a while, but we are still here. We’ll do everything we can to help you stay safe. Things are changing quickly, so keep checking this page and our national coronavirus info page for updates.
You can call us on 0131 557 5273 or email [email protected].
We’re answering calls between 0830 and 1630 weekdays, with out-of-hours/weekend callback.
Updates to the service:
- Our service is running, but we have shifted to telephone-based support and appointments.
- Those in prison can still refer via paper referral forms and officers can call on behalf of clients on 0131 444 3142.
This info is correct as of 9 July 2020. The info below this section applies when the service is running normally. We know this is a difficult time, but it won’t be like this forever.
