Safe Haven Expands its Services

Safe Haven is expanding its service hours and operating from a new location to better serve the community.

Safe Haven, a unique drop-in mental health service opened its doors in Adelaide’s northern suburbs in late 2022 to provide peer-driven support to the community in a specially designed non-clinical setting.

The space, funded by the Northern Adelaide Local Health Network(NALHN) and Adelaide PHN, was collaboratively designed by Northern Mental Health Alliance with input from people with lived experience of mental health challenges.

Located in Salisbury, Safe Haven is operated by Sonder and offers a calm and inviting space for people in the local community in need of mental health support.

The new location provides familyfriendly access with the provision of a children’s space, to better support parents and carers who access the service. Members of the community seeking support at Safe Haven are connected with a peer practitioner who uses their unique skillsets to provide practical support to guests and walk beside them in their recovery journey.

People who need further support are connected to additional mental health services to ensure their needs are met and appropriate care pathways are provided, helping to avoid unnecessary emergency department presentations.
