Two brand-new 24/7 mental health Safe Havens for teenagers will open in Newcastle and Gateshead in early 2026.

These hubs will offer round-the-clock support, a safe place to talk, and help from trusted professionals, whenever young people need it.

We’re especially proud that the Safe Havens will be run by our member Everyturn Mental Health - and Children North East.

Everyturn Mental Health make a huge difference in their communities and these services will mean even more young people can get the help they need, early and without fear or stigma.

This is exactly the kind of compassionate, community-based support we want to see across the UK.

The launch of the region’s first Safe Haven for children and young people across Newcastle and Gateshead! 💜

We’re over the moon to be partnering with Children North East to launch the region’s first children and young person’s Safe Haven, to provide support to young people aged 13-18 in Newcastle and Gateshead, with a safe space to go during their toughest times.

50% of all mental health problems start by the age of 14, so we know how vital it is that children and young people can access the support they need, when they need it, in a way that works for them.

Launching in early 2026, and funded by North East and North Cumbria NHS (NENC) Integrated Care Board (ICB), the service will offer drop-in support, along with support over the telephone and online.

Ahead of the service launching, local young people will be invited to share their experiences and co-develop this vital service; ensuring a safe, supportive space that reflects what young people really want and need 💬

Through our crisis support services, we’re here for people during their toughest times, and we’re really proud to be able to support children and young people in this way too 💜
