Safe Haven
Safe Havens provide out of hours help and support to people and their carers who are experiencing a mental health crisis or emotional distress.
There are five Safe Havens open in town centre locations across Surrey and north east Hampshire to residents of any district or borough within this area.
They are open evenings, weekends and bank holidays and are designed to give adults a safe alternative to A&E when in crisis
