We want to let you know about an important change to online Safespace.
From today (Monday 13 January 2024), we’re changing the way we run the virtual side of our out-of-hours crisis café:
▶️ Virtual Safespace will be available seven days a week instead of five.
▶️ Peer support Safespace sessions over Zoom will be available on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays between 9pm and 10pm.
▶️ Online one-to-one Safespace sessions can now be pre-booked. These slots are around 30 minutes long. One-to-ones can be booked by calling the Single Point of Access on (01472) 256256 and selecting option 3 after 4.00pm on the day you are requesting an appointment. Sessions are available at the below times:
- Monday (7.30pm-8.00pm)
- Wednesdays (7.30pm-8.00pm and 8.30pm-9.00pm)
- Fridays (7.30pm-8.00pm
- Sunday (7.30pm-8.00pm)
▶️ In-person Safespace remains unchanged, running every day from 5.30pm to 11.30pm at Navigo House on Brighowgate in Grimsby.
And remember our other 24/7 support, too. Call (01472) 256256 and select option 3 to access free, confidential mental health support. Alternatively, you can call NHS 111 and select the mental health option.
If you're experiencing a mental health crisis, you can walk into Harrison House on Peaks Lane in Grimsby.
Or you can text ORANGE to 85258 for free mental health text support in North East Lincolnshire. Please note: this service is run by Shout and not by our crisis team.
