Post-Natal Depression

It’s very common to feel overwhelmed, tearful and low for a few days after your baby is born. This is sometimes called the baby blues and usually starts within three to 10 days after your baby is born. Baby blues usually pass off within a few days, without the need for treatment or additional support. Postnatal depression is more intense and lasts longer than the baby blues……………….

Working with Portsmouth Football Club

ECASS, provided an amazing experience for a couple of smashing young Ukrainian lads and their family, who have chosen Portsmouth as their new home. Its never easy leaving the place you call home or leaving family and friends behind in such troubled times so this was a little something we as a community could do to show some warmth support and caring love

We were told to go and see ECASS because we had a housing issue which was very worrying and we thought we was going to lose our home . Upon arrival to their offices last week ,,we was made a cup of tea and made to feel really comfortable . The gentleman that helped us then went through our paper work and helped us organise it in a better fashion and then we went through potential options that we had . We felt very confident about what decision to make after our visit and have now resolved the issue . Thankyou to the ECASS team for their support in our time of need
