Round-the-Clock Mental Health Support

Anyone can experience mental health issues, at any point in their life. You don’t have to deal with these problems alone.

NHS 24 mental health services are available to everyone in Scotland, of all ages. The services we offer include listening, offering advice, and guiding you to further help if required.

Round‑the‑clock mental health support is now available for everyone in Scotland across all age groups following the expansion of the NHS 24 Mental Health Hub.

This support offers psychological support to people who may benefit from early access to treatment. The service provides 24/7 assistance to anyone in Scotland who requires urgent mental health support or is experiencing distress, connecting callers with trained professionals for assessment, advice, and direction to the most appropriate support.
