We encourage young people to embrace the idea that it is ‘OK not to be OK’ and we have a range of mental and emotional health support available. This includes an ESY counselling service, drop-in mental health sessions at The Sir Robert Woodard Academy, group well-being sessions and online workshops for young people and parents/carers on improving and supporting mental health.

About Electric Storm Youth

Founded in 2007, Electric Storm Youth (ESY) is a youth work charity based in Lancing, West Sussex. We run a full range of youth-based programmes, including young carers support, mental health counselling, general youth sessions, LGBTQ+ sessions, street-based (detached) youth work, mentoring and work-experience.

ESY currently support around 200 young people by working to improve their personal and social development, teaching them new skills, and improving the quality of their lives.

The charity’s main challenge is the increasing demand for its services, especially from the more marginalised groups such as young carers and those with mental health problems.
