ABOUT SYDNEY COMMUNITY SAFE SPACE
OUR COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY
Sydney Community Safe Space is dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment for individuals in distress. We are committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and excellence in all our endeavors. We take a personalized approach to address the unique needs of each individual, ensuring that they receive the care and support they require. We believe you are the Expert in your own life.
LIVED EXPERIENCE INFORMS OUR PRACTICE
We are volunteers who have our own lived experience of suicidality, mental, emotional and situational distress. We will be guided by how you would like to be supported and will hold the space for you with empathy and compassion that comes form holding a similar world view and mutuality.
All of our Peers hold a WWCC , Mental Health First Aid, and suicide prevention specific training from Livingworks. They also receive regular debriefs and supervision.
INNER WEST SUICIDE PREVENTION COLLBAORATIVE
In March 2023 along with Sydney LHD and CESPHN we set up the IWSPC. We now have over 15 other member organisations and our goal is to support the residents of the Inner West Region. We believe collaborations and communication will support this aim and will deliver various events and projects over the next 18 months.
