Holding Space Eastbourne

"A lifeline when our family was struggling" We know the answer is parent peer support, and with doubled donations until midday TOMORROW we can use the additional funding to... 💜 Increase the number of 1:1 Support Sessions available for parents, as an ongoing commitment for parent mental wellbeing. 💜 Host additional workshops annually, so that parents have even more opportunities to connect with others in similar situations in a positive, safe environment for self-expression. 💜 Conduct surveys to measure the effectiveness of our support services in addressing specific needs and filling gaps in parental support. As Best Family Mental Health Charity 2023 & 2024, we're committed to supporting parents and carers through tough times. Make a donation on our campaign page to double the impact today. https://lnkd.in/eTTiRnVX

This is what you make possible, with your donation 👇🏼 💜 1-2-1 phone calls with parents in need 💜 Face to face support during family crisis 💜 Group sessions for parents to share experiences 💜 Courses and workshops led by experts 💜 Additional resources, books, signposting And what does this mean for parents? When you’re struggling and have no idea how to help your child through their mental health battles, at times you can’t help but feel alone and unsure where to turn. All of the things we offer above change that, it’s a complete 180. Parents say… “Holding Space is a lifeline…” “We don’t know where we would be without their support” “Thank you to Anna for all the support, just having someone to listen” “The workshop was so helpful, we learn loads that helped us better understand our son’s mental health” Help us double our impact this Christmas. Donate to our campaign before MIDDAY on Tues 10th December, and your donation will be doubled AT NO EXTRA COST to you 💜 Here’s the link to make your donation - please share with friends and family to help us double our impact https://lnkd.in/eTTiRnVX

We've become the first point of call for families across East Sussex reaching out for support and information. There is a critical lack of support for parents navigating the complexities of children's mental health challenges. All too often, families are unable to access support through school, are on Child & Adolescent Mental Health (CAMHS) waiting lists or not eligible for NHS support or are unable to afford private counselling. We're here, but we're in serious need of funding, support, donations, and volunteers. Small charities are suffering more than ever, and we need the help of our community. Donate to our Big Give campaign before midday on Tuesday 10th December and your donation will be DOUBLED! Donate as little as £1 and up to £25,000. Here's the link to make your donation, and double your impact today. https://lnkd.in/eTTiRnVX
