Skylights can help in finding a home and settling in, finding work and applying for jobs and looking after your health and wellbeing.
How we can help depends on your situation and needs. If another service can provide the support you need, we will refer you to them.
Before you visit, we would recommend that you find out what Crisis can offer you in Edinburgh. You can then contact us by phone or email so that we can discuss the best options for your situation
