Support line

The Council has a free support line for those:

  • struggling with mental health challenges
  • experiencing domestic abuse or concerned about a family member/friend

We offer a range of support and advice to those who find themselves in a crisis. Examples of support we provide include help with getting food, discussing financial assistance that is available to you, and who you can go to for energy costs and wellbeing advice. We work alongside other Council teams as well as our partners in the city to provide support to our residents.

Like many other organisations, our phone system has multiple phone lines into our call handlers and it can only display one dedicated number when calling out. For this reason we have a recorded message when a customer calls back to let them know that someone from Aberdeen City Council has called and that we will get back in touch.

Our dedicated number for this recorded message is 01224 545778.
