Edinburgh Crisis Centre

We are a short term service that provides 24 hour emotional and practical support to those experiencing a mental health crisis in Edinburgh. We use a person centred approach to support people to explore ways of reducing distressing feelings and manage their crisis. This may involve crisis and safe planning, exploring coping strategies and looking at longer term resources in the community. We are a confidential community based service that is non medical. We can offer support by text, email, phone, face to face and also have facilities for people to stay overnight at the centre for up to a week depending on their circumstances.
