Mental Health Services
Everyone's health is different - both physical and mental. Statistics show one in four Scots will suffer a serious mental health problem at some point in their lives.
With the right help and support, people can and do recover from even the most severe mental health problems. Recovery means different things to different people and no two people's experiences are the same.
In 2005/06, Turning Point Scotland supported 270 service users who experience mental health issues. Our mental health services offer a variety of support in a person centred way including:
- Social enterprises providing employment opportunities
- Supported living housing support
- One to one and group work based activities
- Help maintaining tenancies
