Family Minds Enriched
Relate West Surrey know that family life is going through immense pressure financially especially when they are from a low-income household anyway. The whole family is struggling and living hand to mouth and suffering with their mental health. The last thing they want to pay for as it is not high on their priority list is counselling sessions to help improve their mental health, even if it is for the children. Please donate now
Project Overview
Relate West Surrey would like to raise funds for a bursary to help families, parents, individuals, or children. Our counsellor would like to see the family as a whole initially and then may decide to see just the parents as they are having problems with their relationship which is affecting the kids. The counsellor may then want to see the child(ren) as they are suffering at home on top of bullying at school. If it is a single parent they may want to be seen alone by the counsellor.
Through The weekly sessions, everyone will see an improvement in their mental health, feel empowered and in control, and have the strength and positivity to manage their lives better. Evidence shows, that tackling early signs of mental distress can prevent escalation to more serious, chronic mental illnesses if left untreated.
The result is significantly costlier care and specialist crisis support, reliance on powerful medication, and more expensive, long-term interventions within the NHS. Our counselling services can address mental health issues early on, enabling people to use coping strategies and build resilience to support themselves to thrive and reach their utmost potential.
Relate West Surrey are lucky that we have the most highly trained counsellors in our team to help with relationships, and sex problems. We have specialist family counsellors and children and young people counsellors(10-18-year-olds)

Ward Buddies

Our vision is to build a sustainable model of emotional bedside care that can be shared with hospitals nationwide, and even around the world
R!SE Up
RISE with’ is our community led scheme, which harnesses the support of local organisations to provide life-changing experiences for young people. Coaching provides the foundation of our work, but we want to go further, raising aspirations for our young people. We believe the way to do this is by exposing them to new experiences, which have the potential to be life changing. Whether it’s drumming, boxing, parkour or cooking, these opportunities give young people access to new possibilities, life skills and passions.
The Brick
