Inverkeithing Sam's
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 Inverkeithing is near a bus stop and near to the railway station. There is on street car parking and a car park at the rear of the building.
Sam's Inverkeithing is located within the Civic Centre and Library building.
A safe, welcoming space to have a conversation with a peer worker...the main entrance is a large welcoming space. In the hall there are areas with tables and chairs.
The front of the building is accessible. 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)
