Many people in our community struggle to access support after hours. Evenings and weekends can be a lonely and distressing time. For this reason, a mental health café model has been codesigned to help address these issues. The WES (Wellbeing & Emotional Support) was developed by the community for the community and is delivered by Wellways.
