About Strathpine Safe Space

Strathpine Safe Space provides support and inclusive, welcoming and supportive environment for people experiencing emotional distress. Safe Space is an alternative to arriving at an emergency department.  

Guests to the space have choice and control over the supports they would like to engage in whilst visiting, including guided sensory and calming activities to help reduce distress.  

Peer workers can provide support to review or create a safety plan, problem-solve and connect guests with other services.  

The space is open from 5pm-9pm on weekdays and 3pm-7pm on weekends. 

 

Who is this for?

Everyone is welcome to visit the Safe Space during times of experiencing distress and or when you need support. There is no age limit, and no appointment is needed, but please phone first if you can, to ensure we are able to see you straight away.   

If you need help getting to there, please call to discuss options. 

 

Key Benefits

Safe Spaces are peer-led and provides an alternative to hospital emergency departments for those who experience emotional distress and suicidal crisis. 

Peer workers can offer guests support with: 

  • problem solving 
  • safety planning 
  • connecting with other services that may be able to help 
  • guided sensory and calming activities to help self-manage emotionality 
  • accessing phone and online supports 

What to expect

The aim is for guests to leave Safe Spaces with a sense of hope and positivity, feeling they have been heard and supported. When it is time to leave, peer workers can provide support with transport, referrals, phone numbers and resources. A follow-up phone call to check the guest’s wellbeing is offered 24 and 72 hours after their visit.
