I need support for a mental health issue, is there someone who can help me?

We are committed to making Tuff Fitty a safe place for anyone to talk about their mental health issues and you will find many of our members are good listeners. But please remember that neither the club, nor the #not2TUFF2talk team are mental health professionals.

  • If you are experiencing a mental health problem we would encourage you to contact our partners Coastal West Sussex Mind on 01903 277000 or info@coastalwestsussexmind.org. They will put you in touch with the right support for you.
  • If you are caring for someone struggling with their mental health, you can also contact Carers Support West Sussex on 0300 028 8888 or info@carerssupport.org.uk.
  • If you are feeling suicidal or in crisis, the best thing is to talk. Speak to somebody you trust or contact a service which can offer you support. If you think that somebody that you know might be suicidal – ask them.
