The Seahorse Project
We offer short-term bereavement-focused counselling support to any bereaved child aged 6-18 in our catchment area (Seaford, Hailsham, Uckfield, Heathfield, Pevensey and Eastbourne).
When someone who is important to us dies, it can leave an empty space in our lives and it is natural to experience strong or mixed feelings. It can sometimes impact on our concentration when we are trying to study, affect our sleep, change the relationships we have with others and cause feelings that might be new to us.
What young people and their families say about the Seahorse Project
“I think people should be able to talk to someone in a tough time.”
“I don’t feel such intense sadness now”
“My child has loved coming and talking during sessions. I have been very impressed with the service. Thank you very much for your help.”
“I was worried it would be a challenge at first due to additional needs. Since the first session they could not wait to come back and were very sad it came to an end. It has been amazing and we can't thank you enough.”
“My child has totally benefitted from their time. I am so grateful this service exists. Thank you.”
