Who we are

Working together we provide a safe, informal and supportive environment for people who are experiencing a mental health crisis, or experiencing emotional distress. No appointment or referral is needed, just drop in, everyone is welcome.
What is the Adults’ Safe Haven
The Adults’ Safe Haven is for adults (aged over 18) needing immediate help at a time of crisis. We offer non-judgemental advice, supporting you to develop short term crisis coping strategies during your time of distress. We can also build your knowledge and understanding of other (longer term) support to help you manage your mental health, emotional wellbeing, and helping to reduce the likelihood of reaching crisis point again.
