Our Nightlight Crisis House offers a safe, homely, and welcoming space for anyone feeling distressed and experiencing a crisis.
Staying overnight has saved my life, I really don’t think I would still be here if I hadn’t come to you. I had the best sleep of my life last night, and feel much more rested. Thank you for all of your encouraging words. I hadn’t heard of Nightlight before, and am grateful that I know about you now. You will be the first ones that I’ll call if I am ever in crisis again.
Our Hemel Hempstead Crisis House has four bed spaces available for overnight stays if that would help you resolve your crisis. These beds are available (depending on capacity) seven days a week, 365 days a year, for all Hertfordshire residents.
In some cases, overnight stays may be discussed and agreed with the Crisis Resolution Home Treatment Team. All stays are reviewed daily, with most individuals staying up to three nights, depending on individual needs.
We’re here to support you in a way that works best for you, without making assumptions or judgements. You can choose how to use your time at the Crisis House, with options like:
Anyone can refer an individual aged 18+ who is experiencing any kind of mental health crisis and lives in Hertfordshire or is registered with a GP in Hertfordshire. We understand a ‘crisis’ as self-defined, based on your experience of your situation.
To make a self-referral, you can call our service from 7 PM, seven days a week, to speak with a team member. We’ll explain the process so you understand how the Crisis House works and what we can offer.
Professionals can refer individuals at any time, seven days a week, by calling 01923 256391, Option 3, to speak with a team member.
Sometimes, we might not have the capacity for you to stay with us. If that’s the case, we’ll offer you a time-limited visit or telephone support instead.

If you are a professional, please call us on 01923 256391 (Option 3).
