What is a Safe Place
Estimated reading time: 10 minutes
Overview
A Safe Place is a local business providing their community with support through connection, compassionate conversations, access to resources and receives people with heart during challenging times. A Safe Place can also connect people to care via their local Safe Space, ensuring support is available when it matters and is needed most.
Being a Safe Place in the community may involve:
- offering brochures/web-based links
- connecting people to local supports including your local Safe Space
- providing a quiet space to sit with a cup of tea
- connecting through a compassionate conversation.
