If you’re looking for urgent mental health support outside normal working hours, Safe Haven is here for you.
Get expert help and advice from professionals in a safe, relaxed and friendly environment and meet others who may be having similar experiences to you.
You can talk as much or as little as you want. If you prefer, you can just sit with us and have a drink.
Whatever support you need, we are here to help you - whether you are in emotional distress yourself, or seeking support for someone you know. Come along and see us: you can drop in to any of our Safe Havens regardless of where you live. You don't need to make an appointment.
Why Safe Haven?
If you’re over 18 years old and seeking urgent mental health support during evenings and weekends you might feel you have nowhere to go and turn to your local A&E for face-to-face help and advice. However, A&E isn’t always the best place. It can be busy and you may have to wait to see a mental health professional.
This is why local NHS and voluntary sector organisations have teamed up to create five Safe Havens which are:
- Specifically designed to support those in mental distress
- Staffed by mental health professionals and peer support workers
- Able to address your symptoms in a timely way and offer information and advice about other relevant services in your area
- Supporting you to stay well at home
Carers and family members can feel isolated too and a Safe Haven offers you a place to come where someone will understand what you’re going through.
Where to find us
If you’re in a mental health crisis: Drop in anytime between 6 pm and 11 pm, 365 days a year.
