Update: If you or someone you know needs urgent or crisis support with their mental health, we are here for you. Our Crisis Café operates 365 days of the year, seven days a week, between 5.00pm – 11.00pm. If you find yourself in crisis or need support with your mental health in the evening we are here to listen and help you in your time of need.
Mind BLMK are delighted to be working collaboratively with the East London Foundation Trust (ELFT) across Luton and Bedfordshire, and Central North West London Trust (CNWL) in Milton Keynes, to provide crisis services for individuals in need of mental health support.
Our Crisis Cafés are safe, non-judgemental spaces that you can come to if you find yourself in crisis or mental distress in the evenings. You will be met by a trained mental health worker who will listen and help you identify ways to address the problems you are facing.
Adults (18+) who are experiencing severe mental distress or crisis.
