The Together Café is commissioned by ELFT to provide support to individuals
who are experiencing crisis, severe distress and/or related mental health difficulties.
The Café is primarily staffed by support workers and peer support workers, providing both 1:1 and group support sessions. Mental Health Crisis clinicians and Art Therapists also offer therapeutic interventions. The sessions are offered face-to-face, via video, and telephone.
The Cafés do not aim to provide long term support but to de-escalate immediate
distress and enable individuals to harness other local sources of support as well as
their own skills and strengths to develop sustainable coping mechanisms.
The service is open to adults aged 18+ in mental health distress / crisis, including
those who feel unable to cope with their feelings any longer; may lack the social
networks / resources to help support them during crisis; those who may feel suicidal
or inclined to self-harm. Individuals must be:
• Resident of Newham or Registered with a Newham GP
The service is not designed to support the following:
• Individuals who have significant co-occurring physical health conditions which
require immediate medical assessment and input.
• Individuals under the age of 18
• Individuals who are intoxicated by drugs or alcohol
• Service users on leave from the inpatient unit
• Individual’s whose presentation, needs and behaviour are disruptive and/or
risky and cannot be safely managed in the Crisis Café setting
• Individuals who are not registered in the borough of Newham.
