Horsham

Waythrough (Formally Richmond Fellowship) works within Pathfinder West Sussex which is an alliance of organisations working together to enable people with mental health support needs and their carers to improve their mental health and wellbeing. RF leads Pathfinder services in the Chichester area. Pathfinder is commissioned to meet the ongoing support needs of people with mental health difficulties who do not require support from specialist NHS mental health services. Strong support to GPs and primary care services is therefore vital to ensure that patients can effectively access Pathfinder support.

The role of the Mental Health Support Coordinator is to support to GP practices in Horsham to effectively meet the needs of their patients who have mental health problems through the provision of direct phone, video-call and face to face support and by supporting these patients to access and engage with community support, particularly Pathfinder services.

On 1st June 2024, Richmond Fellowship, part of Recovery Focus, a national group of charities highly experienced in providing specialist support services to individuals and families living with the effects of mental ill health, drug and alcohol use, gambling and domestic violence merged with Humankind to form a single organisation that provides the joined-up mental health, housing and drug and alcohol support we’ve all known has been needed for decades. In October 2024, Humankind was renamed Waythrough to reflect the new organisation.
