Evening Sanctuary is a 7-day-a-week, non-clinical mental health service based within the REST Norwich Hub. We offer face-to-face and telephone appointments for people who need a supportive place when they do not feel safe.
Our first appointments start at 6:30pm, with the last appointment available at 10:00pm.
Following referral, we will make contact within 24 hours and aim to offer an appointment within 1 to 3 days.
When you attend, you will be greeted by one of our Intensive Recovery Workers who will provide person-centred, recovery-focused support. This may include:
- Referrals into our day services
- Signposting to other support services
- Coping strategies and distraction techniques
- A non-judgemental listening ear during difficult times
Together, we will develop a safety plan to help support you through the next 48 hours.The Evening Sanctuary can only be accessed through a referral from:
- NHS 111, option 2
- A healthcare professional, such as your GP
