Support Services
Southdown Peer Support Service
Please see the latest information regarding the Southdown Peer Support Service here:
www.southdown.org/how-we-help/mental-health-recovery/peer-support-service-east-sussex-community-network
We recognise that during this challenging time connecting with others is an important part of maintaining positive health and well-being.
As well as supporting current clients, the ESCN Peer Service are also accepting new referrals for 1:1 support. This can be ‘light touch’ , supporting you/clients to manage their mental health and well-being during this challenging time, or more long term support for up to 6-8 weeks.
Support will be provided by a Peer Specialist who draws on their own lived experience and recovery journey to mentor and guide others. The Peer Specialist will enable you/your clients to identify strategies/tools to help manage your mental health and promote recovery and well-being. Where needed, they will also signpost to relevant services.
Support will be provided over the phone, however, our team are also exploring new communication platforms and methods to meet the current needs of the community.
To ease the referral process, we have adapted our current referral form (click here to download).
Please send completed referral forms to: PeerServiceESussex@southdown.org
For further support/ information about this service please contact Michelle Trunchion (Team Manager) on 07772 613945 or by email at michelle.trunchion@southdown.org
