Getting support with your Mental Health

Mental health support

Here at Arch, we understand the stress of facing homelessness, and the mental health challenges our patients can face. If you are worried about your mental health, please contact us to make an appointment, and we can work together to support you.

Below are some Brighton and Sussex helplines and resources to help you with any mental health challenges. You may also want to check out this leaflet from Groundswell which explains your rights to mental health support.

Frontline workers and other professionals: See this presentation from Arch GP Dr Tim Worthley, on navigating mental health services in Brighton and Hove, to most effectively support your clients.
