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

At Griffith Safe Haven you can talk to a peer-support worker who is someone who has their own lived experience with suicidality and/or suicidal crisis, and can relate to the emotions or feelings of those attending. If you don’t feel like chatting, you can spend time in a quiet space and listen to music or just sit in the massage chair.

As an alternative to the Emergency Department, Griffith Safe Haven is set up with a lounge room style environment offering a non-clinical and non-judgemental warm and welcoming safe space for all experiencing suicidal distress and psychological distress.

Griffith Safe Haven welcomes and embraces all people from culturally diverse backgrounds, sexual orientation and gender identity, with peer-support workers providing compassionate and confidential care.

It’s a free walk in service with no appointment or referral required.

We are located at 81 Kooyoo Street, Griffith, NSW, 2680

Now open from Thursday - Monday, 2pm - 9pm!
