We provide a free support service by life-experienced “community guides” for local people to come in to chat and be heard, not to be judged.

We have over 50 Mowana CARE companions who volunteer in our Safe Space. All our volunteers are provided with four key trainings: Mowana Foundations Training; Mental Health intervention; Suicide Prevention/Intervention; Domestic Violence Bystander Training.

Mission Statement

Mowana Safe Space is a peer led community-based service to support people who are experiencing emotional or suicidal distress.
 

Mowana stands for Mona Vale, Warriewood and Narrabeen. The Community-led Safe Space is a ‘drop in’ style place that offers a non-clinical alternative to acute, clinical services such as emergency departments for people experiencing emotional or suicidal distress.

Our Community-led Safe Space provides a warm, welcoming environment in which to reduce distress, it is staffed by our Mowana CARE Companions (MCC) who have either had their own lived experience of suicide, have supported someone else in crisis, or who have been bereaved by suicide.

This means they are better able to connect with others through the mutual understanding that comes with meaningful shared.

We are:

  • A trauma-informed ‘no wrong’ door approach
  • A warm welcoming environment
  • Non-clinical support that meets the holistic needs of our peers
  • A compassionate and capable peer-led lived experience workforce providing peer support Warm connections to other appropriate and reliable supports
  • People with Lived Experience are actively involved in all aspects of the Community-led Safe Space
 
We have over 50 Mowana CARE companions who volunteer in our Safe Space. All our volunteers are provided with four key trainings: Mowana Foundations Training; Mental Health intervention; Suicide Prevention/Intervention; Domestic Violence Bystander Training.
