Background information
The NHS in south west London would like to understand more about people’s experiences of mental health crisis services –particularly people’s experiences of crisis cafes and recovery spaces.
They would like to hear from people who live or use services in south west London (including Croydon) and have used the service, would consider using the service in the future or from people who care for people who use/might use these services.
Crisis Cafés and recovery spaces are safe, welcoming places where people can go if they're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or are having a mental health crisis but don't need to go to A&E or other emergency support services.
Cafes are usually open in the evenings and on weekends when other mental health services might be closed.
They offer support for people going through a mental health crisis; provide a calm space to talk with trained staff before things get worse; give advice and help with mental health needs, including practical support (like help finding other services or resources) and listen without judgment to help people feel safe and understood.
They’re for anyone over the age of 18 years who is struggling with their mental health.
