Our services Reachout "Reachout gives me a lot of confidence & signposts organisations I never knew existed. It is enlightening, encouraging & the group is my light at the end of a tunnel." Reachout client, 2020. What is Reachout? Reachout is a free service for adults living in Kent, who are looking for some support for their mental and emotional wellbeing. Our trained and supportive staff deliver weekly face to face 'walk & talk' support groups, as well as online & telephone groups to give you a space to receive some caring and non-judgemental support. By joining, you can find out what has helped others and have a safe space to talk about things you might not usually share with friends or family. How can Reachout help me? Our groups are built on shared personal experience and empathy, focusing on your strengths with the goal of achieving wellbeing and recovery. Why not take a look at some case studies to find out how these groups have supported people in the past. During the groups, are staff are able to: Advise clients of the current Covid19 updates.
