Provision of a Safe Haven (Day Time Support) and 24/7 Telephone Crisis Line Service

NHS Stockport Clinical Commissioning Group has awarded a contract to Making Space for the provision of a Safe Haven (Day Time Support) and 24/7 Telephone Crisis Line Service, that will achieve the following key objectives; - to provide a safe, welcoming and comfortable place for people in immediate acute emotional distress and for those seeking to prevent the onset of a crisis; and - to work with the individuals to create plans and strategies for managing their mental health and well-being, with the aim of preventing future crisis.

This new Service, operating from a central location within Stockport, will complement, rather than replace or supersede, existing local provision to meet the needs of people experiencing acute emotional distress, potentially associated with mental health issues.
