Young Adults Support

Dundee and Angus ADHD Support Group - Young Adults Advice

Youth Groups – Monday evening 6-8pm, £6 fee payable weekly and an annual admin fee of £10.   Please call the office if you are interested in a space which can be attended by a young adult up to the age of 18 years old. We are hoping to introduce a young adults group for 18 years and older in the near future.

Adult Mental Health Services

The first port of call for advice is your GP to ask for a referral to Adult Mental Health Services. If you can back up your case with evidence of your behaviour and daily struggles, then this will help to support your case. If possible, bring along someone that can support you in this conversation with the GP.

Do not assume you will transition from CAMHS into adult services. If you have stopped taking medication you will have to go through the referral process again from your GP.

Feeling Strong - this is another local charity supporting young adults based on Albert St opposite our charity shop. 

Their aim is to improve the lives of young people living with mental health
and wellbeing challenges by fostering the skills, confidence and aspirations
they need to flourish.

Their email address is: [email protected]
