Mental Health Navigators

Adult Mental Health Navigator Service

Patients visit their GP for help with stress and symptoms related to mental illness.

Some of the issues that patients face during these times are caused or made worse by non-medical issues such as financial & employment concerns, housing issues, social isolation, substance misuse, bereavement or caring and parenting responsibilities.

We connect people over the age of 18 to community groups, activities and services in the local area who can help you with these issues.

We can see you for a period of up to 12 weeks to help you through a personalised plan of support.

How to Access this service

Meet Sophie and Louise, our Mental Health Navigators, at The Kitchen Table on Camden Rd on the first and last Wednesday of each month 12pm to 2pm as part of the ‘Chatty Café’ Scheme.

Our Primary Care Network Mental Health Navigators are regularly in attendance and are there to support patients registered at the Tunbridge Wells GP Practices to attend. Our aim is to encourage people to talk to others, help to lift your mood, and support you feel less lonely or isolated. Come and enjoy a coffee and chat with others, whether it be 5 minutes or an hour. There is no agenda or topics to these sessions.

If you would like to meet with a Mental Health Navigator prior to attending or have any questions you can self-refer to the service by clicking here.
