The project, which is the first of its kind in Northern Ireland is funded by the Southern Health and Social Care Trust initially for a six-month period.
The design of the project has been supported by employing a co-design and co-production lived experience model alongside a stakeholder analysis approach.
The WELL-Bean Café will operate over evenings and weekends, for people who are experiencing mental or emotional distress.
Service hours will operate on a Friday evening from 6:00pm – 11:00pm, Saturday afternoon from 12:00pm – 7:00pm, Sunday afternoon from 12:00pm – 7:00pm and Monday evening from 6:00pm – 11:00pm.
Initially, due to the current restrictions, the project will be delivered remotely, commencing on Friday 2 April 2021.
