Available Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Mondays from
5 pm - 10 pm
People requiring support for their mental health outside of regular business hours can see a trained mental health clinician or a peer support worker with a lived experience of mental health, for free.
Our Walk-in Mental Health Service is designed for people who want more support than a phone support line can offer, but who do not require admission to hospital – filling the gap between these two types of support.
At our service, you can speak to someone confidentially about what is going on for you right now, get referrals and information about other services that can help, and take home some strategies for dealing with any short-term distress or situational crisis.
Available Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Mondays from 5pm - 10pm, for people aged 18 years and over.
With no appointment required.
Expect a welcoming and supportive space when you arrive.
Friendly & non-judgemental clinicians and a lived experience worker on site.
Mental health services at Sonder centres are free.
To be eligible for the Walk-in After-hours Mental Health Service, you must:
Staff are highly skilled and experienced Mental Health Clinicians, including Psychologists, Mental Health Accredited Social Workers and Mental Health Nurses.
We also have a Peer Worker (Lived Experience) on site. Our staff will ensure you receive the most appropriate service to meet your needs.
There is no appointment required to access the service. Simply drop-by Sonder Edinburgh North between the hours of 5pm – 10pm Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Mondays.
The After-Hours Mental Health Service is not an emergency or crisis support service and we will be unable to meet the needs of clients who present:
Clients presenting with these conditions require more urgent support and should contact 000 or visit a hospital emergency department.
Following a ‘no wrong door’ approach, Sonder works with the Adelaide Primary Health Network’s Central Referral Unit to provide a single point of entry to mental health services. Offering intake, assessment, triage and referrals, Sonder connects people with the right service.
We offer a wide range of mental health services under the one roof. Clients can access appropriate mental health care aligned to their individual needs and can easily move between programs to suit their changing support needs.
Sonder is focused on integration with the broader health care system. Where necessary, we support clients to refer to services outside of Sonder to ensure their needs are fully met.
If you, or someone you are with, are hurt or need immediate support, please call 000.
