Mental Health Support
25 Aug 2020
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Sensing Friends have received funding from HM Government in partnership with The Big Lottery Community Fund to provide free online counselling to young people in Sussex.
Sensing Friends can accept referrals from young people who experience any of the following:
- Experienced trauma which is impacting their mental health
- Have emotional needs that impact how they interact with the world around them and others
- Have any kind of physical sensory need such as visual/ hearing impairment
- Have any kind of neurological condition such as being on the Autistic Spectrum.
There are a limited number of free online counselling sessions available to young people between the ages of 8-25 years. Additional telephone check-in sessions providing information and support to young people and their families will also be offered.
These services will run between August 2020 to January 2021.
