Time Out Scotland

Service Provision

Time Out Scotland is a peer support group for people with mental ill health. They are a supportive community which helps people cope by talking to others who have had, or are currently experiencing, mental ill health. Time Out Scotland is open to all and provides a safe space to talk freely in a confidential, respectful and non-judgemental environment.

By the very nature of peer support there are no formally trained mental health practitioners present and the group is not intended to replace professional interventions.

Time Out Scotland is run by a voluntary committee, most of whom have attended the group for a number of years.

Time Out Scotland meetings are held 50 weeks of the year. They are open to anyone age 16+ (they cannot accept younger due to child protection regulations). There are typically around 15 people at every meeting. Some people come along for a certain period of time while they are struggling. Many people return to meetings for multiple separate periods whenever they feel they are going through a bad patch and need the support of the group. The important thing is that Time Out Scotland is there for people to come along whenever they need, for as long as they need.

Online meetings are held via Zoom from 7pm to 9pm. Please see Contact us for how to request the zoom link.

In person meetings will (for now) be held at iCafe, 70-72 Ingram St, Glasgow G1 1EXin the private meeting room upstairs. There is a lift for disabled access.

There are no online meetings on the in person weeks.

Please arrive on time to both types of meeting to minimise disruption and be sure to read About us before attending so you know what to expect.
