Safe Spaces
Service information
Safe Spaces is a network of organisations offering same day urgent mental health support for anyone aged 7 and over, including children, young people, adults and older adults in emotional distress or crisis.
You can come to us for support with whatever you're going through—we're here to listen and help.
Some of the things people talk to us about include:
Overwhelming feelings of worry or fear
Panic that feels hard to control
Thoughts of suicide or self-harm
Deep feelings of sadness or hopelessness
Feeling disconnected from yourself or the world around you
You don’t need a diagnosis or a referral—if you’re struggling, we’re here for you.
To get an appointment, you can:
Call First Response on 0800 952 1181 at any time
Call Guide-Line on 08001 884 884 or chat online between 8am and midnight
