The aim of our Talking Space service is to provide a safe, welcoming place where people can go outside of normal working hours, instead of A&E or other urgent services, if they are feeling emotionally distressed or are in a mental health crisis.
We have THREE Talking Space venues across the city
Delivered in partnership with Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust, Talking Space offers a safe place to come and chat face to face with our Intervention Workers. There is also access to clinical staff if needed.
- Talking Space operates between 5pm – 11pm
- Its open to all adults (18+) living in Birmingham or Solihull, whether you are known to Mental Health services or not.
