Qwell online support
UOK now offers free, online support
We’re excited to offer Qwell – a free, anonymous, and safe online mental health service for adults aged 18 and over living in Brighton & Hove and East Sussex. Accessible through our website, Qwell provides one-on-one text-based chat sessions with trained practitioners, available daily. Alongside live support, you’ll find moderated forums and interactive tools to help you connect, grow, and manage your wellbeing at your own pace. No referral needed – just support when you need it most.
