“It’s not just about eating right or sleeping and exercising enough.”

Too often, people living with Borderline Personality Disorder, Schizophrenia, or Clinical Depression just to name a few illnesses, are told to “just think positive,” “sleep more,” or “stop using drugs or alcohol" when there is clearly no alcohol or drugs involved, they're sleeping enough, and often are trying everything to "think positive" and "exercise".

Recovery isn’t that simple. These are real medical conditions — complex, deeply personal, and deserving of compassion and proper treatment. It can take therapy, medication, ongoing support, and a community that chooses understanding over stigma. If someone is living with one of these conditions, they are already fighting battles you may never see. Offer patience. Offer empathy. Offer to stand beside them.Healing isn’t linear — but with the right care and kindness, it is possible. 💙

A friend of Safe Haven shared this beautiful reminder that “I’m fine” often hides so much. Here, you don’t have to be strong - just yourself.

How are you, really? 🩵

Our opening hours are 4 pm to 9 pm, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We are located on the corner of Bridge Street and Hercules Street opposite the clocktower.

We look forward to meeting new people and all our regulars.
