‘A lifeline for those who need it’: Limerick late-night cafe to offer free mental health services

In its pilot phase, Solace Café is open 6pm to midnight, from Thursday to Sunday

The Limerick cafe is based at Limerick Mental Health Association headquarters at Sarsfield Bridge — in the former premises of the Pier One Hotel.

A late-night mental health cafe has opened its doors in Limerick — in a first for the city — offering a “lifeline for those who need it”, particularly at the weekends.

Launched by the HSE Mid-West, Solace Café is a free, confidential, and out-of-hours non-clinical mental health service, where adults in Limerick City can access the mental health support they need by appointment.
