Safe beds are an in-house treatment for up to 30 days for stabilization to divert from mental health inpatient admission or entry into the criminal justice system. Safe beds are designed for those with Mental Health and/or addiction needs that are suitable for non-medical intervention and can be supported in a community/home-like setting rather than in a hospital. Currently, SAH has two ‘flex’ safe beds for those in a mental health/addictions crisis to divert from hospital or incarceration and support with housing needs- these referrals can come from anywhere in the community and those in care will receive support with mental health, care planning, housing etc. There are also 4 mental health and justice safe beds that offer similar support however, the referrals must come from police or police/crisis and be suitable for diversion from inpatient hospital- these referrals can stay up to 30 days to stabilize and obtain a treatment plan/housing plan. It is a voluntary service – safe bed workers ally closely with probation and parole, community justice workers, and police services.
