Off The Record South East Hampshire

Off The Record South East Hampshire Supporting young people’s mental health to fulfil their potential for a brighter future.

We opened our doors to young people in 1977 to help support them through difficult periods in their lives; mostly anxiety and family & relationships issues, but also anger, low self-esteem and low mood. We offer one to one counselling, family counselling, groupwork, young carers, and support for parents free of charge.

With the news of the ban of social media for under 16s you might be feeling a range of emotions about this. It’s OK to feel however you are feeling. We understand that social media can be a form of support and connection you depend on and the thought of having that forcibly removed might make you feel sad and disconnected.

Making new ways to connect may help to ease the transition to come. Don’t forget that we are here with FREE support mental health support when you need us for ages 11–25, families and young carers (8–25). 💚

We’re here to build carer-friendly communities that support brighter futures.

We’d like to say a big thank you to the Hendy Foundation for funding a day out for our wonderful Havant Young Carers, to visit Paulton's Park this summer.

Being a young carer is a huge responsibility. When you’re a child, you deserve time to just be yourself and have fun. That’s why Off The Record provides vital respite and a space for young carers to be kids again.🎈

We support young carers living in Havant and provide FREE mental health services across South East Hampshire. Whether it’s counselling, group work, or our young carers clubs, we are here for 11-25 year olds and their parents and carers.💚

We’re so proud to host a party for our young carers and their families – filled with cake, games, great food, and lots of dancing! 🎈

It’s fantastic to see our young carers and their families come together, connect, and celebrate. Caring can be tough, so creating moments to relax, have fun, and feel part of a community are important.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and made the day so special. 💕

Havant Young Carers supports Young Carers 8-18 years and Young Adult Carers 19-25 years.

Being a Young Carer can be really tough, looking after a family member at home, on top of juggling the rest of life’s challenges.

This Carers Week we’re building carer-friendly communities that support carers in every area of their lives. We’re hosting a Young Carers’ party and gathering thoughts on what community means to them.

Our Havant Young Carers project provides fortnightly clubs and trips in the holidays to provide a break from caring. It’s a safe space to talk, and make friends with others that have the same responsibilities! ✨

If you help look after a family member at home, you’re not alone.💛

Our Support Volunteers make check-in calls to young people while they are waiting for counselling. It’s important as it can help to avoid feelings of abandonment after asking for help and while waiting to get counselling.
