The Beacon Centre

Welcome to the Beacon Centre!

We would like to welcome you to The Beacon Centre. We are a 12 bed general adolescent inpatient unit for people aged 13 and up to their 18th birthday. We support people who are affected by different mental health challenges. Your child will be supported by a multi-disciplinary team who are committed to help them through this difficult time.

At the Beacon Centre, we aspire to create a safe, supportive and validating environment where young people come to manage crisis.
