A new crisis support service for mental health patients across North Somerset has opened its doors for face-to-face support for the first time.
Safe Haven Centre, run by mental health organisation Second Step and launched by Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (BNSSG CCG), in partnership with Avon & Wiltshire Mental Health Trust (AWP), opened in Weston town centre on February 27.
Second Step is still offering digital and phone support, which it has been doing since the new service launched in May.
The centre in Boulevard provides a safe space for people in acute emotional distress.
