OUT-OF-HOURS SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE IN DISTRESS
Safespace is a new service in Calderdale, offering support for people in distress during weekend evenings. It's open from 6pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, with the latest available appointments at 11pm. 
Healthy Minds Support Groups are for anyone who is experiencing emotional distress. People are free to talk about their own mental health - or not: the support group gives space to make that choice.
The groups are informal and relaxed. They are 'peer support' groups (meaning people get support from each other), not therapy groups, although, for some, they may have a therapeutic benefit. All groups are led by a facilitator or co-facilitators whose role is to encourage the group to develop and flourish in a safe, non-judgemental and inclusive way. 
Workshops and courses are created and facilitated by staff and volunteers with personal experience of emotional distress. They are an opportunity to think about and understand yourself better, and to develop skills and resources to support your emotional wellbeing.
We hope to be able to offer a new programme in the Autumn. 
Due to high demand, we can't take new referrals for Money in Mind at present. For welfare rights advice, please try Citizens Advice on 01422 842 848 or see other contacts further on this page; our employment support service is operating a waiting list.
