SBH Scotland have worked to continue a vital support service albeit in slightly different formats than normal.

Coronavirus Hub and Information: We have a dedicated page for information relating to the Coronavirus. If members have any concerns of how they could be affected they can also click on our link and have a video chat with one of our clinical team.

YouTube: Our YouTube channel is home to many useful resources during times such as these including Have A Go films to encourage children's play and development and our support worker Kerry has also been filming 'dancercise' videos for thos with limited mobility. Visit our channel now to subscribe.
