PostScript360 Limited
PostScript360 supports people who have a mental health condition and a dependency on prescription drugs. We offer a wrap-around service of one-to-one therapy, group therapy and a telephone support service. We share our knowledge with health professionals, and promote prevention awareness through community centres, GP Practices, universities and hospitals. We provide an advocacy service liaising on behalf of our clients to their GPs and other health care services. We encourage people, once dependence free, to continue in their personal growth, to support each other through a peer-to-peer support group called the 360 Clubs, where people have fun and participate in activities.
