REST Hub, Ipswich

Mental wellbeing support when you need it

The REST Hub is a welcoming, non-clinical space where adults can access free mental wellbeing support from Suffolk Mind.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, struggling with your mental health, finding it difficult to cope with everyday life, or simply don’t know where to turn, our experienced team are here to help.

We offer focused, person-centred support to help you understand what’s happening for you, identify your next steps and work towards improved wellbeing.

How to access the REST Hub

There are three ways to access support:

• Drop in during our opening hours.
• Refer yourself using our online referral form to book an appointment.
• Be referred by a healthcare professional or another organisation, such as NHS 111 or your GP.

Our team will work with you to identify the most appropriate support based on your needs.

What to Expect:

When you first access the Hub, a member of our team will spend time understanding what has brought you to us and what support may be helpful.

Support may include one or more structured one-to-one sessions, helping you to:

• explore your current challenges
• develop practical coping strategies
• build confidence and resilience
• identify goals and next steps
• connect with other services and community support where appropriate
• connect with other service users, in a shared, safe, community space, encouraging peer support

The REST Hub is designed to help people move towards improved wellbeing in a supportive, welcoming environment.

Visiting the Hub:

You don’t need to be in crisis to access the REST Hub. We encourage you to self refer to our REST Hub to get the most out of your visit.

If you choose to drop in, we’ll always do our best to see you on the day. However, there may be times when the Hub is supporting other people and we’re at full capacity.

If this happens, we’ll work with you to arrange the next available opportunity or help you access other appropriate support if needed.
