Safe Space facilitates a male and female group; both groups also have trans and non-binary participants. Safe Space is participant-led, where the participants meet first and have a brainstorming session inviting the participants to outline their priorities for the next Safe Space sessions. 

The emphasis is on peer support, safety, self-determination, self-organisation, self-expression and cohesiveness, and these are offered to participants as the overarching themes for Safe Space.

Safe Space is held on the first Saturday every month from 1 pm to 4 pm. The upcoming dates are:

• 2 December

Included in these sessions are topics including: 

• Emotional management and positive thinking: The group learn about healthy forms of emotional expression/management and CBT techniques to challenge negative thinking. 
• Communication styles, assertiveness and self-esteem: The group learn about unhealthy and unhelpful communication styles such as aggressive, passive and passive-aggressive styles and the theoretical and practical approaches towards assertiveness. 
• Sexuality and sexual health: The group explore attitudes towards their sexuality and sexual orientation, internalised homophobia, safe sex practices and available sexual health services.
• Relationships and boundaries: The group explore the features of healthy and unhealthy relationships, the importance of the relationship to self and spirituality, and healthy boundaries. 
• Expressive Art & Fun
