Papers from a day organised by Bristol Survivors' Network, focusing in particular on a safe place to go during a 'mental health crisis'. Includes papers looking at the experience of mental health crisis, preventing a crisis, the behaviour and attitudes of mental health workers towards people experiencing a crisis, and hospitals and other existing crisis services. Other papers look at places to go that are not hospitals, examining: what is needed in a crisis house; the emotional atmosphere of a crisis house; medication; management arrangements; what kind of skills and support should be available; and issues about access to a safe house.
