Herts Haven Cafe Launch Miscellaneous

On Tuesday 17th October, Herts Mind Network are launching their Herts Haven Café provision in Stevenage.

The launch event will be held at one of their venues, Bowes Lyon Young People's Centre, and all are invited to join them to raise awareness of this community provision for 10-18 year olds. There will be a host of activities on the day including a raffle, badge making, creative workshops and activities, and refreshments to enjoy. Hosted by Hertfordshire Mind Network, these safe and welcoming spaces will offer compassionate face to face emotional and wellbeing support and guidance from trained mental health workers, without the need for a professional referral.

Herts Haven Cafés are a free welcoming drop-in space for children and young people across Hertfordshire to access support for their emotional wellbeing.

If you are a young person seeking support, we’re here to help!

Our main goal is to create a non-judgmental environment where young people feel comfortable sharing their concerns. We believe it’s important for individuals to have a space where they can freely express their thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. That’s why our compassionate team are here to listen and support. Practical help may include guidance on coping strategies, stress management techniques, and problem-solving skills. Our workers have the knowledge and resources to provide relevant information and tools to help young people navigate their mental health challenges. The cafés will also provide a safe space to access digital support including The Sandbox, and Lumi Nova, as well as talk through alternative services.

Emotional support is also a key focus of our cafés. Our team are trained to provide empathy, acknowledgment, and a safe space for young people to express their emotions. Through open and caring conversations, we aim to create a sense of belonging and connection.

Herts Haven Cafés are open to any young person in Hertfordshire between the ages of 10 and 18 without the need for a formal referral. Just pop in.

We believe in providing prompt support without unnecessary barriers. By removing referral requirements, we strive to reach as many young people as possible and address their emotional wellbeing needs in a timely and proactive way.
