Frequently asked questions

I'd like to discuss my problems face-to-face - can I visit the College to use this service?

 

No. The Psychiatrists' Support Service currently operates as a telephone-based service and does not offer face-to-face meetings.

 

Does the service offer treatment?

 

The Support Service is your gateway to specialist advice, peer support and mentoring; it does not offer counselling or treatment.

 

Will the service be able to provide advocacy or representation at an employment tribunal?

 

The Support Service is not an advocacy service; it will not act as a trade union or offer representation at an employment tribunal, but can direct you to agencies that can help with this.
