Safe Haven – Co-located in Penrith Head to Health

A 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.

Safe Haven is co-located within the Penrith Head to Health Centre. You can access the service seven days a week, 1pm to 9.30pm Monday, Wednesday – Sunday (including public holidays), and 1pm – 5pm Tuesday.  

You can talk to a peer-support worker who may have experienced what you’re going through, or to a mental health professional.  

If you don’t feel like chatting, you can spend time in a quiet space.  

It’s free and you don’t need an appointment.

Penrith Head to Health is located at 111 Henry Street, Penrith.
