  • Work with you to create your own individual plan to support your mental health needs during your stay at the Crisis Sanctuary and provide you with tools and information for when you leave.

We are based at 50-52 Hampstead Road, London, NW1 2PY. The Sanctuary is a walk-in service, which means you can just turn up with no appointment necessary.We are open from 5-11pm, Monday – Sunday, 365 days a year. Please note, our last admission for walk-ins is 10:30pm.

If you don't want to come in for a face-to-face meeting, you can telephone the Sanctuary team for support during opening hours. You can also phone the Sanctuary before opening hours and leave a message to ask for someone to call you back. It is our aim to get back to messages as soon as possible, but always within 24 hours.
