Who We Are
Galway Community Café is a free out-of-hours adult mental health service designed and run by people with lived experience of mental health challenges, and / or supporting those with lived experience. The service is currently operating on a appointment only basis, and has essential service status from the HSE during level 5 restrictions. The service is funded through the service reform fund, the HSE and Mental Health Ireland.
What We Do
To embody the peer support ethos of mutuality in peer support – the power of being able to tell your story and hear others, and the healing potential within these naturally occurring therapeutic relationships. Our staff understand mental health difficulties in a trauma informed approach and support people to be the best version of themselves. To demonstrate the principles of co-production – the strength of shared power and decision-making, and the empowerment of the voices of Experts by Experience and staff. We use person-centred, non-judgmental, solution-focused and asset-based approaches to deliver better mental health support experiences. Our trained staff realise distress is a natural response to trauma, to recognise the effects of trauma and respond in a spirit of compassion with the aim to prevent re-traumatisation.
How We Do It
The café provides a safe, non-judgemental place for individuals to come and have a chat with a trained member of staff. Our team have lived experience of using mental health services and can provide peer support or signposting for customers experiencing emotional distress. Due to Covid-19 all classes and currently suspended.
Who We Serve
We provide a safe and understanding environment for people going through mental health difficulties.
