Crisis Harbours
At the Crisis Harbours, our trained and compassionate Peer Supporters with lived experience are here to offer immediate support if you’re going through a mental health crisis, including feeling suicidal. We provide a safe alternative to A&E and can help connect you to other support once the immediate crisis has passed.
Community Harbours
At the Community Harbours, you can drop in for a couple of hours in a safe, welcoming space. You might be going through a bereavement, a breakup, feeling lonely, or just need a chat. Whatever you’re facing, you’re welcome to join us for a brew and some friendly support, even if you’re not in crisis.
EPiC HOPE Harbours are there for everyone. Whether you are struggling with mental health issues or suicidal thoughts, if you have been suicidal historically or recently, if you have lost someone through suicide or even if you just need to talk and share your feelings – that human connection.
With peer to peer support and friendly volunteers, our Harbours are a safe place and you will always be made very welcome.
WE ARE HERE FOR YOU.
We understand that being a teenager can be incredibly tough, and your mental health is important to us. We want you to know that you matter and you’re not alone. That’s why we are thrilled to announce that we are in the process of creating special Harbours designed specifically for teens aged 13 to 18.
We know it’s not right and it’s not fair that you have to wait to be referred, and that you often feel like you’re not being listened to or getting the help you need. We hear you, and we are doing everything we can to set something up in Wigan just for you.
These dedicated spaces will be supportive and understanding environments where you can share your experiences and connect with others who truly understand what you’re going through. We are working diligently to put everything in place.
In the meantime, if you are struggling and need someone to talk to, please ring Papyrus HOPELINE247 on 0800 068 41 41. They are there to listen and offer support 24/7.
Remember, you matter. Your mental health matters. Hold on, because help is on its way.
The more EPiC HOPE Harbours we have, the better.
If you know of a space in your community that you could access and you are committed to training to be able to support anyone with mental health issues, then please do get in touch.
We can provide you with everything that you need.
