We Cannot Support You When:

  • You are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
  • You need medical attention.

  • You indicate you have an intention to harm others.
  • You are abusive towards staff members over the phone or in person.
  • We have already allocated all support spaces for the evening.

Our decisions are based on your risk, available support, ability to self-manage and our staff capacity – it is never personal.
