Your voice shapes local mental health care. 🗣️
Today’s Hestia coproduction Open Day Celebration Event at Sobus Dawes Road hub shone a spotlight on the Hammersmith & Fulham Safe Space — a vital, no-appointment-needed mental health support space for residents aged 18+, open evenings and weekends, 365 days a year. 💛💙
The event brought the community together to explore Hestia’s vision for accessible local mental health crisis support. We’re not just building support for the community — we’re building it with it. Coproduction sessions took place at 3pm and 6pm, giving local people the chance to share ideas, lived experiences and feedback to help shape what welcoming, effective crisis support should look like for our community.
