Hestia Recovery Café

Hestia's Recovery Cafe is a safe and supportive space for people with mental health needs who are experiencing mental health crisis. This may include people experiencing social isolation in their daily lives who may not have access to the services of social and family networks to support them at difficult times.

The café can support up to 25 customers at any one time, enabling them to benefit from group and one to one sessions and activities, companionship, structured safety planning as well as a hot meal and drink.

The aim of the Recovery Cafés is to support individuals to reduce their immediate mental health crisis, help customers plan to reduce the likelihood of crises reoccurring, and to reduce the use of emergency mental health services such as A&E.

The Recovery Cafés are set up for people to attend only a handful of times, during which we will help them to identify groups, organisations and opportunities in their community where they can build social networks and develop coping skills to prevent mental health crises in the future.
