Safe Haven
What is a Safe Haven?
A Safe Haven is a place you can go if you’re feeling distressed or having suicidal thoughts. It is a safe place where you can talk openly about how you are feeling and what you’re going through. A place where you can feel supported and not judged.
You can talk to a peer-support worker who may have experienced what you’re going through, or to a mental health professional.
If you don’t feel like chatting, you can spend time in a quiet space and listen to music.
It’s free and you don’t need an appointment.
