GMMH Crisis Cafe at No. 93
The GMMH Crisis Cafe is a new out of hours friendly and supportive space open to anyone in a crisis.
Our aim is to offer a practitioner led community facing alternative to A&E for those experiencing emotional or psychological distress. Using a recovery approach, we offer support and advice from qualified Mental Health Practitioners and support staff in a relaxed and comfortable environment.
Service users will be assessed and signposted to the relevant ongoing support where appropriate, working in partnership and linking in with our local voluntary sector and social enterprise services. The GMMH Crisis Café welcomes referrals from all our community and urgent care services and are working with other partner agencies, service-users and their families to increase access to this innovative service this winter.
The GMMH Crisis Café principles and aims are as follows:
- Support people in a safe place to reduce any immediate crisis
- Safety plan drawing on strengths and resilience
- Signpost service users to the right level of support to avoid waits in the Emergency Departments.
- Timely access to service out of hours
