Situation
Every family needs a little help from time to time. But some face challenges so severe that the safety, happiness and health of their children are in jeopardy. Today our support has never been needed more. This year 38,000 children in Scotland will suffer abuse and 1 on 4 (260,000) live in poverty. Stress caused by poverty, poor mental health, alcohol or drug misuse, loss or conflict - and often a combination of them.
Solution
We give hands-on support to families under stress in many of Scotland’s communities. Since 1884, we have been helping families to nurture their children, particularly in their earliest years. There’s no ‘one-size-fits all’. Our joint up approach across our Parentline online and phone service, children and family services and Women 1st group ensures that both children, parents and families work together to find a solution as well as 1-2-1 support tailored to their age, circumstances and wishes.
