Galway Community Café is a free out-of-hours adult mental health service designed, and run, by people with lived experience of mental health challenges, and there to support others on their mental health journeys.
The café provides a safe, non-judgemental place for people to come and have a chat with a trained member of staff. The café is staffed by a team who have lived experience of their own mental health journeys and using mental health services; and can provide peer support or signposting for those who may be experiencing emotional distress.
The café is a safe, confidential, open space which supports people at any stage of their mental health journey. It is free for people to get in touch with. Due to Covid-19 guidelines, the service is currently operating on an appointment basis, offering in person, phone calls and video calls.
