Supporting people in suicidal or emotional distress, and isolation —
wherever you are.
A place to pause.
A place to breathe.
A place to be heard.
Hunter Mobile Safe Space is a mobile extension of Lake Mac Safe Space, bringing the same trusted, non-clinical suicide prevention support into communities across the Hunter region.Through our mobile van and trained lived‑experience peer workers, we create pop‑up Safe Spaces where people can step away from what feels overwhelming, connect with someone who will listen, and feel supported in the moment they’re in.We exist because connection saves lives — and support should be available where people are, not only where buildings are.Free.

What our guests are saying…
"I lost my son six weeks ago and felt overwhelmed and in deep distress. I left the safe space team feeling heard, understood and a little more able to breathe again.”“So when I attend the safe space, it's a time out for me. It's a safe space where I can come to download, give my brain a break, and give myself a break from home life.”“Just being with the team, helped me to feel safe.”
