The Elliott Holmes Memorial Fund offer funding and access to mental health counselling for young people aged 13-18 living in Gravesham. We work with independent, highly qualified, local BACP counsellors who accept EHMF funding. Our one point of contact quickly builds trust with young people. Money is raised by the local community and businesses.
Based on the National Statistics, over 1,000 young people aged between 13-18, living in Gravesham and struggling with their mental health are not getting help.
Research shows that early intervention is key. However, with long waiting times young people can get lost in the system and many find it almost impossible to access counselling via the NHS. This inevitably leads to issues compounding and in the worst case scenario can result in someone taking their own life, just like Elliott. Sadly, statistics report almost one suicide a week in Kent.
