Summer events to support young people and parents

Neighbourhood Wardens ‘Talking Tents’

Due to the three recent deaths by suicide of young people from Horsham Schools. As part of the District Council’s response we want to try and ensure that parents and young people have access to informal information, advice and guidance over the summer holidays and the opportunity to raise any worries or concerns that they have with a professional.

The Wardens will be adapting the street briefing idea using a gazebo to act as a focal point – which we are now calling a ‘Talking Tent’! The aim is to provide a focal point over the summer holidays where parents and young people from the Parish can come and have a chat / be given some leaflets / resources and signposted to other services if required.

Come along and talk to the Neighbourhood Wardens who will be able to signpost you to specific services. Look out for the branded gazebos. Youth workers from Sussex Clubs for Young People will also be at some sessions.
