At Sam’s Fife there is always a warm welcome by a team of mental health peer workers who offer time-space-compassion. Peer workers have their own lived experience of mental health issues and a recovery journey. Peers can offer compassion from the perspective of a lived journey.
One- to-one support is offered at Sam’s Fife, with the support starting with what is important for the person that day. Sam’s Fife is a safe space where you can explore wellbeing, relationship, family issues, crisis situations and suicidal thoughts.
People are welcome to attend with a family member/friend/ worker...Sam’s Fife is a 16 years plus (and no longer in School education) project, therefore people have to be over 16 when attending or attending with someone.
Sam’s Kirkcaldy is near to the bus station and railway station. There is on street car parking and also a small car park at the side of the building
Sam's Kirkcaldy is located within the St Brycedale Centre. It is within the St Brycedale Kirk which is located a short distance from the main town centre in Kirkcaldy
A safe, welcoming space to have a conversation with a peer worker...the main entrance is a large welcoming space, with seating areas. In the hall there are areas with tables and chairs.
There is an accessible ramp to the front of the building. Inside the main entrance there is signposting to Sam's, a peer worker will meet a person and welcome them into Sam’s Fife.
On accessing Sam’s Fife a peer worker will offer a warm welcome, explain about Sam’s Fife support and get the kettle on! People will be offered the time - space - compassion to explore what is important for them that day.
(It is not likely that a person will have to wait for support however there is a waiting area that has Sam’s Fife magazines and leaflets to read)
