A space for real conversations
What is a Breathe Café?

Our Breathe Cafés are spaces for real conversations. They offer resources on mental health and wellbeing, signposting to mental health services and provide access to our network of volunteers who are there to listen.
Disclaimer: Breathe Cafés are not mental health clinics. Our volunteers are not therapists. We provide signposting and supportive listening only. Nothing provided at a Breathe Café or by Shawmind replaces advice from a mental health professional.
How does it work?

1. Breathe
Take a breath, relax, enjoy a drink with some delicious food while reading a book from our mental health library.

2. Share
Open up and share how you are feeling with someone you feel comfortable with.

3. Connect
