The Moorings @ Devon

What can you expect from us:

The Mooring offers three welcoming, safe, comfortable, non-judgmental and non-clinical environments, sometimes known as 'crisis cafes'. At The Mooring, we will be able to provide information and emotional support if you are in crisis or feel you are heading towards a crisis situation.

There is no need to be referred by your GP or Care Coordinator. You can come just for a chat, or you can access one-to-one emotional support from trained mental health professionals. We also offer help in creating staying well and crisis plans, and support visitors to access other services and organisations that may be useful to them.

If you don't feel comfortable attending face-to-face, we can also offer support via video chat. 

We work closely with GPs, Community Mental Health Teams, Crisis Teams, A&E Mental Health Liaison Teams, Police and Ambulance Services, Street Triage, and other front-line healthcare professionals to ensure that people in emotional distress have a safe, supportive place to go to, with appropriate mental health support available.

People using The Mooring will also be supported by our 24/7 helpline, which offers access to emotional support and information even when The Mooring is closed.
