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 poor mental health, struggling with emotional distress, suicidal ideation or feelings of overwhelm. 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.

The support line can be reached by calling Freephone 0808 175 1369 Monday-Sunday between 5.30pm - 11pm 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 Breathing Space Hub is open 365 days a year from 6pm to 10.30pm. From 4th November, the service is situated at Beauford House, 8-9 Princes St, Bath. Ba1 1HL

The hub offers a safe, comfortable space for you to come to when you are in serious emotional distress. 

During your visit, you can choose to spend time in a quiet space, listen to music, watch a movie, play a game or make use of our arts and crafts area. You may want to chat with others or spend some time talking with a member or staff.
