My whole way of thinking has changed. I feel positive about my future and the people around me. I'm now looking forward to the future and helping others just like me!

Thank you so much for the incredible support PAPYRUS and HOPELINE247 has given me. You helped me in that moment and it kept me alive.

Fathers Service - Meeting the needs of Fathers for the benefit of their children.

# data[].attributes.body
Oasis is offering therapeutic and parenting support to fathers to strengthen relationships and communication.

The Fathers’ Service is available to any family in East Sussex where one or both parents has experienced problems with drugs and/or alcohol (may be historical).

Fathers may be living with their family or separated.

Dads are provided with eight sessions, though we can review and extend our work if necessary. For the time being, support will be via phone calls and video calls.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
For any Dads living in East Sussex who want to strengthen their relationship with their family or could use some time and space to reflect on the important things in their lives.
Why is there a need for such a service?
It has always been challenging for men to find their place within family services and counselling. The Fathers Service helps Dads to connect with the most essential parts of their lives: as Dads, as men and as individuals.
Do the Dads need to have problems with drugs or alcohol?
The problem with drugs or alcohol could be historic and needn't be with them. It could be that the mother of their children has had a problem with drugs/alcohol. Dads will be expected to be managing their drug/alcohol use, be in treatment or wishing to work towards engaging in treatment.
What can Dads expect in terms of parenting support?
This could be anything from working with Dads in setting boundaries with their toddler, working through difficulties they may have with their children's mother and, most importantly, helping them to be the kind of Dad they want to be.
What can Dads expect in term of therapeutic support?
This is a confidential and safe space for Dads to explore some of their more difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours. They can go at their own pace and to a depth that they are comfortable with.
Do Dads have to be living with their children and their children's mum?
Dads can be separated from their children and their children's mother. These Dads will continue to be important to the lives of their children and this relationship is to be fully supported.
How can professionals make a referral?
There's a referral form and professionals are welcome to contact me for an informal discussion.
Can Dads refer themselves?
Yes, then can and they are welcome to call me for an informal discussion.
How will you be providing the help?
For the time being, support will be via phone calls and video calls.
How do you start work with a Dad?
I carry out an initial assessment with Dads so we can both get an idea of what's important in their lives, gain some understanding of their family relationships and identify what we want to work on.
How long do you work with the Dads?
Dads are provided with 8 sessions, though we can review and extend our work if necessary.

There are times when we can cope with life's challenges but all of us need support at times. There are situations, thoughts and feelings that no one should have to face alone. It may feel as though nothing can change your situation but people who are struggling with suicidal thoughts have found that even at their lowest point there are things that can help. Talking to someone who is really listening and who wants to understand you and what you are going through can be a really important first step.
For more information, please call 01273 519108 or email counselling@sussexcommunity.org.uk
Please bear in mind that Support for Survivors of Suicide is not an emergency service and our counsellors cannot be available outside of appointment times. If you need immediate support or do not feel you can keep yourself safe it may be important to contact your GP or visit A&E. Samaritans can also be a helpful resource. They are a confidential service that open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week for people in crisis.

Our SilverCloud programme is available with two options: Supported or Unsupported.

Option 1: Supported SilverCloud

With our Supported offer you canaccess our full range of treatment modules through the SilverCloud programme and you will be supported throughout by one of our Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners.

How will I be supported?

You will receive regular reviews of your progress where your supporter will be able to see which modules you've read, the tools you have used, your scores on the questionnaires, and any messages you have left for them.

Your supporter will monitor and review your progress, provide feedback and guidance and will encourage you in order to support your journey through the programme. We will usually offer you 4-6 reviews depending on the progress you are making.

Reviews will usually happen fortnightly to give you a chance to practice the skills you have learnt and these will be conducted over the telephone.

Your supporter will set the time aside for your review so please try to make sure you have used the programme.

The 4 modules are Stress, Resilience, Sleep and COVID-19/Challenging times.

The Benefits of SilverCloud

It is interactive, flexible and available 24/7, online via a computer, tablet or mobile phone. You can use the SilverCloud programme entirely at your own pace and to fit in with your busy schedule.

SilverCloud enables people to access the same quality therapy online, as they would meeting with a therapist face to face.

National studies and our own data looking at the effectiveness of SilverCloud, have shown high improvement rates for depression and anxiety; helping people overcome and manage their mood better whilst increasing their sense of wellbeing.
