advice and information
OASIS can provide advice and information on mental
health issues including diagnoses, medication, talking
treatments, coping strategies, support for carers etc
backed up by access to our other services for specialist
support around benefits, accessing services, financial
advice etc – see our Practical Help page. For additional
sources of help and advice see below.
Mon - Fri 9-30am to 5pm: email, phone, Messenger,
face to face
See social support and crisis cafe services for support
outside of the above hours
No application process, may need appointments for
face to face advice
Information can be accessed in a variety of ways: phone,
email, Facebook Messenger and in-person at our main
building in Faulkner Road.
Advice can be offered to those with a diagnosed mental
health problem, or to those seeking to maintain their mental
wellbeing and to family, friends and carers of someone
coping with mental health issues.
Our staff aren’t qualified to make diagnoses or recommend a
particular medication or treatment, but we can offer
information and guidance on particular diagnoses,
treatments or on what options may be open to you to help
you understand or make a choice on what is being offered to
you by mental health professionals in the NHS and elsewhere.
Again, although our staff aren’t legally qualified, we can
provide information on your rights under the Mental Health
Act, including sectioning, and guide you towards the
statutory advocacy provided under both this Act and the
Mental Capacity Act.
We would always advise anyone to consult their doctor for
help with mental health issues, but we can provide
information on whether our own support services, such as
counselling, might be appropriate, or on what other non-
medical support is around, eg support groups or specialist
helplines/websites etc.
As mental health is as much a part of our lives as our physical
health we are able to provide information on mental
wellbeing generally, not just on where medical or more formal
support is needed.
Our specialist outreach and benefits/financial advice service,
including help with debt (we’re registered with the Financial
Conduct Authority for this) can help your mental wellbeing by
tackling the practical issues that can cause your mental
health to deteriorate.
