Devon Mental Health Alliance Drop-ins
Our drop-ins are a place for any adult who is impacted by mental health challenges to come and be welcome, meet new people, learn about local support and services, and occasionally learn a new skill. Whether you’re experiencing a difficulty yourself, are the family member or carer of someone struggling, or would simply like a little support, please join us at the drop-in nearest to you. Our drop-ins are a non-clinical space, which means you don’t need to be referred or have a diagnosis to attend. These spaces are provided free of charge, sometimes in collaboration with community partners, but are shaped by you!

Although we welcome any adults to our drop-ins, even if you aren’t having your best day, they aren’t set up to be a crisis space.
If you feel like you are in crisis, please contact First Response Service (FRS) by calling 111 or reach out to The Moorings.
Additionally, The Helplines Partnership is a website that provides details for over 300 different helplines you can contact, depending on your circumstances (for example: elderly persons support, LGBTQ, regional, domestic violence, parental support, crime, financial, refugee, housing).
