Blue Mountains Safe Space is a ‘drop in’ style space located at 2 Station Street, Katoomba that offers a non-clinical alternative to emergency departments for people experiencing emotional distress or suicidal crisis. The safe space is open on the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Fridays of every month from 6pm to 9pm.

Safe space provides warm, welcoming environments free from stigma where people can reduce their distress and choose to speak with volunteers who have their own lived experience of suicidal crisis, caring for a loved one who has experienced thoughts of suicide, or of being bereaved by suicide. Perspectives of hope come from shared experience and people can thrive when accessing this meaningful peer support with the opportunity to speak openly about suicide, finding a connection through mutual understanding in a time of crisis.
