Information service
The Information Service is a free service available to those affected by schizophrenia and other severe mental illness. This includes people with direct experience themselves, their family members, carers, friends and neighbours. Information is also provided to other service providers in both the voluntary and statutory sectors.
Information is offered on many aspects of mental illness and the effect it has on all concerned.
Questions and requests we frequently respond to include:
What forms of treatment are available?
Details of specific medications
Details about the workings of the Mental Health (Care & Treatment)(Scotland) Act 2003
Where can I get help?
How to get help in a crisis or to prevent a crisis arising?
Who can help with benefit claims?
How do I complain about services?
The Information Service will normally be available at core times of 10.00 am � 3.00 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, with allowance for public holidays. Outwith these hours other office staff are available during office hours who will take messages if unable to deal with the requests themselves.
