⭐️Creative Outlet Group (Ages 14+) ⭐️
Mondays at 4pm

Do you enjoy writing, journaling, poetry, storytelling, or just want a calm, creative space to get things out of your head and onto the page?😁

Our Creative Writing Group is a relaxed, supportive space where you can explore ideas, try gentle writing activities, and connect with others your age in a youth led environment, with no pressure to share and no expectations to be “good” at writing.

You can come to write quietly, take part in games and prompts, build confidence, or simply enjoy having space to express yourself in your own way. Whether you love words or don’t know where to start, you are welcome.
No experience needed. Just come as you are.
Your voice matters, even if you’re still finding it.

• Crisis Café, River House, 41 The Mall, Newry, BT34 1AN
Every Monday at 4pm (rolling group)

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

This year’s message is Changing the Narrative on Su***de, with a call to action that begins with something simple: start the conversation.

Talking openly and compassionately about su***de helps challenge stigma and creates space for people to say when they’re struggling. You don’t need to have all the answers or know exactly what to say. Sometimes, listening without judgement and helping someone reach the right support can be an important first step.

At Crisis Café, we believe every young person deserves somewhere they can feel heard, supported and safe.

If you’re worried about yourself or somebody else, please reach out:

☎️ Lifeline: 0808 808 8000
☎️ Samaritans: 116 123
🚨 In immediate danger, call 999

You are not wasting anyone’s time. You do not have to face it alone.

Need a third space to relax and socialise outside of home? Reminder that social bytes is running from 330 on Wednesdays🍰

Social Bytes is a relaxed youth space for young people who want somewhere comfortable to spend time, connect, or focus, without the extra pressure.

It’s a place to drop in, grab a complimentary hot snack and drink, use laptops, Wi-Fi, or the printer, and settle in however suits you. Some people come to study quietly on their own, others meet friends, work together, or just enjoy being around people without having to perform.

There’s no expectation to socialise, and no right way to be. You can talk, create, concentrate, or simply exist in a space that’s designed to feel safe, calm, and welcoming.

Social Bytes is about community at your own pace, a space where you don’t have to fit in to belong.
Please note this cafe is strictly for 13-18yr olds
