Support Services in Scotland
At Mind On Side, we understand that sometimes life can feel overwhelming, and reaching out for help can be daunting. To make it a little easier, we have compiled a list of support networks and organisations across Scotland that provide guidance, advice, and practical help for anyone facing challenges related to addiction, homelessness, mental health, or other life difficulties.
These resources are available not only for individuals seeking help but also for family and friends who may be worried about someone close to them. Each service offers professional support, safe spaces, and practical solutions to help people get back on track.
We at Mind On Side are proud supporters of all these organisations and truly appreciate the incredible work they do. We would like to give a special mention to the Scottish Drugs Forum (SDF) for the personal opportunity they gave me to regain control of my life, and for the educational experiences they provide. The dedication and impact of SDF, along with all the other services listed here, are absolutely fantastic, and we are grateful for their ongoing commitment to supporting people across Scotland.
If you or someone you care about needs support, please explore the list below and reach out to the organisations directly. Remember, asking for help is a sign of strength, and no one has to face challenges alone.
