Our Advice Service gives practical advice to adults living in England who are affected by mental illness. We advise people with a mental health problem, their friends, families and carers. We advise professionals who may want to know more about mental illness and how they can support the person they are working with. The Advice Service are expertly trained in a range of issues, including; mental health conditions, access to care and treatment, different medications and treatments, individual rights under the Mental Health Act, social care, and welfare benefits. We give advice to carers about their rights and how they can support the person they care for. Calls to our Advice Service cost the same as when you call a local number. You can e-mail or write to us for advice and we aim to respond within 3 working days.
