Bath Mind Breathing Space Crisis Support
Bath Mind's Breathing Space service consists of both a face-to-face and telephone service, offering calm, non-clinical support for individuals experiencing or at risk of a mental health crisis. Staffed by a team with a broad range of experience in mental health issues, the services offers a compassionate listening ear and signposting to relevant services.
What we offer
The support line can be reached Monday-Sunday between 5:30pm-11:00pm where you will be offered calm, non-clinical support over the phone. Staff can listen and offer calm, non-judgemental emotional support, and will focus on helping you to stay safe and look at a short-term plan for next steps for crisis prevention.
The in-person hub is open Monday-Sunday 6:00pm - 10:30pm and is situated at Oasis Fountain Buildings in Bath. During your visit you can choose to spend time in a quiet place, listen to music, watch a movie, or make use of our arts and crafts area. You may want to spend time chatting with others, or speaking to a member of our staff.
Our aim is to support you to work towards recovery, resilience, and wellbeing. We will also give you information and refer or signpost you to other services.
