INFORMATION ABOUT SAFE ZONE:

Safe Zone is an innovative non-medical crisis service for young people aged 11-17. The service opened in April 2020 right at the start of the pandemic. Safe Zone opens 2 evenings per week (currently Wednesday and Thursday) for young people to access at times of emotional distress and crisis. The service runs from North Point on a Wednesday and Thursday from Dial House, Halton.

The role of the Crisis Support Workers is to provide a range of face-to-face emotional support to young people in crisis, as well as their parent/carers who may be in attendance and also to support the Senior in creating a safe supportive environment.

Safe Zone is part of Leeds Survivor Leeds Crisis Service group of services. Leeds Survivor Led Crisis Service (LSLCS) is a mental health charity, founded in 1999. We provide services which are predominantly out of hours and that supports people including young people in acute mental health crisis, as an alternative to psychiatric hospital, A&E, police contact and other statutory provision.

LSLCS provides a person centred, survivor led alternative to mainstream psychiatric care and the medical model of treating distress. LSLCS specialises in supporting people at high risk of suicide and/or self-injury, who are survivors of trauma. More information about the organisation and its services can be found at
