Some have been frustrated by the limitations they feel have been put in place. For example one young person felt let down by mental health services and another their needs were not properly recognised. Some young people told us they had received good support from Orkney Blide Trust to support positive mental health.
Orkney is committed to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of care leavers by ensuring that they have access to timely, trauma-informed, and person-centred support throughout their transition to adulthood.
During normal office hours Monday to Friday, 9am – 5pm Contact Orkney Health and Care Children and Families Services on 01856 873535 extension 3342 or if the person is an adult call 01856 873535 and ask for Adult Social Work
This will take you to The Balfour Hospital switchboard then you ask for the Emergency Social Worker.
