What We Do
Safe spaces are ‘drop in’ style spaces that offer a non-clinical alternative to emergency departments for people experiencing emotional distress or suicidal crisis. Safe spaces provide warm, welcoming environments free from stigma where people can reduce their distress and choose to speak with volunteers who have their own lived experience of suicidal crisis, caring for a loved one who has experienced thoughts of suicide, or of being bereaved by suicide.
Perspectives of hope come from shared experience and people can thrive when accessing this meaningful peer support with the opportunity to speak openly about suicide finding a connection through mutual understanding in a time of crisis.

Your nervous system needs care just like the rest of you. When life feels overwhelming, it’s a sign to slow down, breathe, and give yourself moments of rest and calm. Even small acts of self-care can help your body feel safe again.🌼 #mentalhealthawareness #suicideprevention
