The Crisis Safe Space (CSS) service offers a warm, calm, and supportive alternative to going to A&E during a mental health crisis. It’s straightforward and easy to arrange an appointment with a compassionate team member who will listen without judgment and work with you to find a way forward.
To help you feel more comfortable and understand exactly what CSS offers, we’ve put together these short videos. They answer your biggest questions and share the experience of someone who has actually used the service.
