Description

The Service for Adolescents and Families in Enfield (SAFE) is a Children and Young People’s Mental Health Service for young people between ages 13 and 18 who experience very overwhelming stresses and difficulties.  

SAFE is a multidisciplinary team which offers mental health support to young people and families within Enfield where the young person may experience a range of difficulties, including low mood, anxiety and traumatic events which negatively impact their lives and interpersonal relationships.

SAFE offers a range of interventions to support young people and families to achieve a greater sense of wellbeing. We also work alongside social care, schools and other community services.

SAFE were quick to offer me support when I began struggling with my mental health at 16. I received weekly face to face counselling and someone to talk to anytime that I needed. This support continued for as long as I needed, right up until I started university.

SAFE made sure I had all the tools and support needed to continue to manage my mental health, and continue to check in with me. I always know someone at SAFE is there to help me if needed, even now I have moved on from their services.

I started off unable to express my emotions and extremely anxious of my surroundings but SAFE has helped me to regain my confidence in trying new things and opening up about how I feel.
