Counselling & Support Service
Closure of the Counselling and Support Service (SCASS)
Following the outcome of Glasgow City HSCP IJB meeting on Wednesday, 19 March 2025, plans are currently in development for the closure of Sandyford Counselling and Support Service (SCASS)
As of Monday, 31 March 2025, the service is pausing new referrals to the service to allow time to plan our implementation of the change.
Patients who are currently being seen in the service are unaffected by this change. Patients who are on the waiting list, will be contacted in due course.
Further details about how the closure of the service will be managed will be communicated by the beginning of September 2025

Our Listening Ear Service that provides short-term emotional support, advice and information is still running at present.
