**Adult Support at The Cavern**

Support at The Cavern facilitates a safe space, supportive staff who will listen and signpost accordingly, and activities such as board games and arts and crafts to empower community building.

We help people feel less isolated, cope with anxiety, meet new people and provide support at a time of day when little low level or early intervention support is available from the statutory services (6-10pm). In providing this service our aim is to offer a service to access before getting to crisis. We are funded by Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board for this service and we work closely with a wide range of statutory mental health services to ensure a joined up approach.

Our team of support workers provide a listening ear and facilitate a safe place to provide non-clinical, early intervention and prevention work for those with mental health struggles or complex emotional needs.
