Lighthouse Beacons

Lighthouse Beacons are safe spaces offering hope, safety and support in a confidential, and non-judgemental environment. They offer an opportunity to meet like-minded people and share any problems you are facing or have faced in the past with. Each group is different; some are face to face meetings, others virtual and many share an interest in a common activity such as sport.

Critical Incident Support

If your site or workplace has an incidence of accident or suicide, our critical response team will co-ordinate the appropriate level of response and  provide immediate specialist trauma support. A follow up visit also ensures that we have reached everyone affected by the incident and signpost to specialist trauma therapy or trauma counselling if necessary.
