Oxfordshire Safe Haven

About Elmore’s Oxfordshire Safe Haven Support

Oxfordshire Safe Haven (OSH) is a non-clinical space offering same-day crisis support, signposting, safety planning, and listening support for people in a mental health crisis. It is an alternative to Accident and Emergency, providing one-to-one support over the phone and face-to-face and small group support face-to-face and online.

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please refer yourself by calling 01865 903 037. The referral line is open from 11:30am - 9:30pm each day. You will have to call to book an appointment for the same day.

Elmore is providing additional community-based support as part of the extension of the Safe Haven. We offer community outreach and support to individuals who have recently accessed crisis support. The service is run by Oxfordshire Mind and forms part of the Oxfordshire Mental Health Partnership (OHMP).

Elmore’s support can last for up to 12 weeks.
