Referral (how to access)

The Havens are not a walk-in service; assessment is by professional referral only. Paramedics as well as police are able to refer people to the Haven if they attend 999 calls and the person is found to be experiencing acute mental health distress.

Referrals will be accepted from any Sussex Partnership urgent or crisis team across Sussex and neighbouring mental health trusts.

Referrals will be accepted for patients who are registered with a Sussex GP or resident in Sussex.

Referrals must be made by telephone so that a clinical triage can be completed.

External referrals are accepted from:

  • SECAMB

  • Sussex Police

  • Sussex Community Foundation Trust

  • Acute hospitals (via Mental Health Liaison Team or MH Senior Nurse Practitioner)

  • Other partner organisations, including primary care where the person would otherwise be directed to A&E.
