Plans for an innovative mental health crisis and recovery centre in North Somerset have taken a step forward with confirmation that local mental health charity Second Step, is the preferred bidder for the new service.
The service will be based in Weston-super-Mare, and has been commissioned as part of the local Healthy Weston programme to transform services in the Weston and Worle area. It will provide a safe, welcoming and comfortable place for people in immediate acute emotional distress and for those seeking to prevent the onset of a crisis, and will be open 6pm to 12 midnight seven days a week.
