How to get support

Access to Southdown services depends on the type of support, where you live and your situation.

Some services are open access, which means you can contact them directly. Other services need a referral, for example from a professional, NHS team, local authority or partner organisation.

Each service page helps explain who the service is for, where it is available, how to access support and what to expect next.

For professionals and tenants

Are you a professional or referrer, or a current Southdown tenant?

Not sure where to start?

It’s okay not to know which service is right for you.

You can search our service directory to find support by location, type of service or who it’s for. You can also get in touch and we’ll help you find the best place to start.

If Southdown isn’t the right fit for what you need, we’ll try to point you to other support.
