In times when health services may not be available as usual, making sure people know there is help available 24 hours a day is particularly important. Crisis Safe Space provides vital out-of-hours help for those struggling with mental health problems, providing a safe space for non-judgmental support.
Local news teams recently visited the Bridgwater Crisis Safe Space hub and spoke with Recovery Navigators & Peer Volunteers. OMH partner Second Step is the lead delivery partner of this valuable service along with support from Mind in Somerset & Watch.
In 2022 nearly 1500 people accessed help from Crisis Safe Space.
