Mind ‘Circle’ Café
Mind is a leading mental health charity that provides advice and support to empower anyone experiencing mental health difficulties. They campaign to improve services, raise awareness, and promote understanding. Circle is a hub space and café that will offer support for young people in Hammersmith & Fulham who are at or near crisis point with their mental health.
Please find the leaflet attached detailing more information about the service. You can also find further information on our website here: Circle cafe website
You can just ‘drop-in’ to the café (no referral required), or you can be referred – you can find the referral form along with the inclusion/exclusion criteria here: referral form
Cases are not held for longer than 24-48 hours due to the nature of the service, however there is no limit on how many times a young person can access the service, so you can always re-refer or drop-in as many times as you need.
