Safe Space Group

Safe Space

What is Safe Space?

Safe Space is a peer support group for young people aged 16-25. It gives individuals a space to connect and have discussions about their mental health and wellbeing in a safe, supportive place, facilitated by Bath Mind staff and volunteers.

There are opportunities to engage in new activities based around the Five Ways to Wellbeing, such as:

Creative sessions with theatre practitioners and artists
Film sessions with local directors
Regular social gatherings, such as bowling, cinema trips or meals out.

The group is held every Monday from 5pm to 6.30pm and runs both online and in-person.

Safe Space has been a lifeline for me. I felt so alone and had so many questions with a late ADHD diagnosis. With Safe Space, I have found those answers and made friendships for life.
