A
large part of SAFA's work is providing training to professionals and
other organisations to help raise awareness, understanding, confidence
and skills in others who support people who self-harm: spreading the
message of understanding and acceptance, which our clients feel makes
such a difference to their lives.
SAFA's services:
Offer
some immediacy in supporting people who are in distress
Fill
a gap in local health services
Offer
people choices about the type of support they receive
Do
not have the stigma often associated with local mental health services
SAFA was
established in 2006 after the need for a self-harm support
organisation in the Furness area was identifed.
SAFA
was founded as a result of the past, personal experiences of
Cindy Orsich and her colleague Ann Mills.
SAFA
is run by an executive board which includes several directors.
SAFA
is a company limited by guarantee (No. 6344630) and a registered
charity (No. 1121122)
SAFA
moved to its current premises at Waterside House in October 2007.
