CARING | UNDERSTANDING | EMPOWERING
At the Safe Space we support people to overcome distress by offering a calm, comfortable, and healing environment away from the emergency department, and with caring, clinical and peer support available.
What to expect: The Safe Space has a chill-out space, a lounge and kitchen area and access to a garden outdoors. The space is designed to support your wellbeing and recovery. The Safe Space team consists of Peer Workers and a Senior Mental Health Clinician. Peer Workers are skilled health workers with lived experience of mental health challenges and recovery.
Using their unique lenses of lived and professional experience, the team will collaborate with you to find a path to wellbeing that works for you.
The Safe Space is open:
- Monday to Thursday 2.00pm – 8.00pm
- Friday 5.00pm – 8.00pm
