This is a reminder that if you're a young person in Bristol city centre and you feel unsafe in any way, The Station is open for you!
Drop in and speak to reception if you need support or simply want to be in a calm, safe space.
It's still #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and we want to remind you that we offer free wellbeing services for young people. Visit on our website for more information.
At Creative Youth Network we believe in supporting the mental health off our staff and young people attending our services and we think it's so important to lift #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek.
The theme of this year is Take Action. For yourself, for someone else, for all of us.
