The November newsletter from Counselling and Support Services Southend (CASSS) shares the latest updates, training opportunities and developments in mental health and counselling services across Southend.

This month’s edition highlights CASSS receiving £1,200 from the Tudwick Foundation to support its ongoing work, alongside information about Lightwell Counselling, a bereavement counselling service offered by Havens Hospices.

There are also opportunities to develop skills and get involved, with Trust Links offering Mental Health First Aid and Suicide First Aid training, as well as volunteering opportunities for qualified counsellors, supervisors and other volunteers.

The newsletter also features national mental health news, awareness campaigns and details of the final CASSS virtual network meeting of 2026, taking place on Monday 30 November at 4pm.
