Safe Haven

A Safe Haven is a place you can go if you’re feeling distressed or having suicidal thoughts.

It’s a safe place where you can talk openly about how you are feeling and what you’re going through.

A place where you can feel supported and not judged.

You can talk to peer-support workers or be connected to a mental health professional. If you don’t feel like chatting, you can spend time in a quiet space and listen to music.

Aboriginal Led Safe Havens are led by Aboriginal peer workers who have lived experience and understand community, culture and connection to Country. People can sit, talk, rest, or yarn with someone who will listen without judgement. 

MNCLHD operates a Safe Haven in Port Macquarie and an Aboriginal Led Safe Haven in Kempsey.

Both Safe Havens are open to everyone, it’s a free service, you don’t need a referral or an appointment, just drop in.
