Adults’ Safe Haven

The Adults’ Safe Haven is open for face to face mental health support at the Wellbeing Centre in Leigh Park.

We are open 365 days a year from 6pm-10pm. Please call us on 0300 303 1560 or just drop in. No appointment is necessary.

If you need urgent mental health support outside of our opening hours please phone 111. The Samaritans also offer a service outside of our opening times, 116 123 (24/7 FREE). 

In a life-threatening emergency please dial 999.

Further information for referring GP’s or other agencies

No referral to the Adults’ Safe Haven service is necessary. GP’s and professionals can signpost patients from Havant Borough, East Hampshire, Fareham and Gosport. However, we will not turn anyone away due to their area of residence.

The Safe Haven is commissioned by Fareham & Gosport and South Eastern Hants CCGs (Clinical Commissioning Groups) and is led by Havant and East Hants Mind. It is operated jointly with the Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust Mental Health Crisis Team and the Inclusion Drug and Alcohol services.

The Safe Haven model is a partnership team approach of mental health clinical professionals, voluntary sector professionals and trained volunteers.
