Lotus Services (formerly Home-Start East Sussex)
In April 2024 Home-Start East Sussex re-branded as Lotus Families. They still offer many of the same services, with a few new additions. Lotus Families want to make professionals aware of the current services we run all of which are online:
| Service | Who for? | Type of support |
| Domestic Abuse Recovery programme | Women who have experienced abuse and are no longer in a relationship with their ex-partner and feel safe. | Six-week Zoom group |
| CAPVA (Child/adolescent to parent violence/abuse) programme | Parents experiencing abuse from their children 8-17 years old | Eight-week Zoom group |
| 1:1 IDVA service | Eligible clients who complete the above programmes, and a standalone service for Trans and Non-binary clients | 1:1 support over phone or video call |
| Relationship Goals online webinar | 13–16-year-olds designed to give them the knowledge and skills they may need to build and maintain healthy relationships | One-off session on Zoom |
| Managing Money Safely for women | Designed for women who may have experienced abuse in the past, but this is not a requirement, the session is to protect them in future relationships | One-off session on Zoom |
| Lotus Blossom Peer Support programme | Women who have completed our Recovery programme | Weekly sessions on Zoom. The sessions are run by trained peer support mentors |
Please note the clients need to live in East Sussex or Brighton and Hove.
