Together for Mental Wellbeing

The Berkshire West Breathing Space service provides a welcoming and safe space for anybody 18 and over who is experiencing mental distress or a mental health crisis.

New service, we opened in September, We provide support and a safe space for people to go outside of normal working hours, as an alternative to using A&E or other urgent care services.

We also offer virtual options for you to access support using video calls, if you cannot travel to us. Or we can arrange a telephone call if you don’t have digital access.

WHAT CAN PEOPLE EXPECT?
Whatever the reason for you feeling distressed or in crisis
– we’re here to help you.

You can talk to our staff about how you’re feeling or what is concerning you.

We’ll listen to you, and help you to develop a safety plan, including coping strategies.

We’ll also help you to navigate local services and opportunities that can provide further help and support.

"It’s a comfortable space to relax, and refreshments are available."

Berkshire West Breathing Space is hosted 5 minutes away from Reading town centre from Monday to Friday, 5 pm to 11 pm and Saturday & Sunday from 12 pm to 8 pm, including Bank Holidays.
People must have an appointment to access Breathing Space services – people can not just turn up!
