7. Mental health support at Edinburgh's Thrive Welcome centres

Edinburgh's Thrive Welcome Teams offer a drop-in service for anyone who’s struggling with their mental health - no referral needed.

There are Welcome Team drop-ins across the capital, open at different times during the week.

In this bonus episode of Keeping Edinburgh, Gus Harrower learns how the teams help to make mental health support more accessible and approachable.

Each Thrive Welcome Team is made up of experienced mental health practitioners with a range of professional backgrounds. They’ll give you a warm welcome, and put you and your needs at the centre of your support.

The teams can see people aged 18 to 64. If you’re unable to attend a drop-in (due to work commitments or difficulty getting out), you can also ask your GP for a referral.
