Mental Health and Wellbeing ECS (Enhanced Community Support) Hub

Who is this service for?

Any person (aged 16 years and over) who is registered at a GP Practice in Forfar or Kirriemuir, presenting with mental health and wellbeing needs, or substance use needs.  The Hub will also accept referrals for 11-16 year olds of high school age but only for the Young People's Peer Support Worker.  

Your referral will be sent to the ECS mental health and wellbeing hub to decide what support will best meet your needs. The hub includes nurses, social workers, psychology, mental health and wellbeing peer support workers and social prescribers. We have set up the ECS mental health hub to improve access to the right support at the right time. By spending time making sure your referral is seen by the right service or services, we can meet your needs quicker without having to tell your story to many different workers. We want you to be fully involved in your support and keep you informed of the progress of your referral.

A member of hub staff will aim to contact you within 48 hours (during the working week) to advise you of the outcome of your referral.
