Maytree Respite Centre

Maytree Respite Centre

Our Vision To fill a gap in services for the acutely suicidal between emergency services and all non-residential help, offering brief-stay crisis support by engaging with non-medical compassionate befrienders.

Our Mission At our sanctuary for those in suicidal crisis, we provide a unique, internationally respected, evidence-informed, non-medical psychosocial model. We offer a potentially transformative experience with a once-only 4-night stay at our family-style house. Through respite, time and space for reflection and compassionate and nurturing care, our befriending volunteers and professionals support an opportunity for the revival of hope and resilience.

Our Values Trust, respect, openness, empathy, equity, non-judgement
