Argyll and Bute Supporting Families
We believe that childhood abuse should not be allowed to cloud the rest of a child's life.
Our local services help children to heal and their families to recover from abusive experiences. Our service in Argyll and Bute works with children and young people between 5 and 18 years who have been affected by either domestic abuse or sexual abuse. Children who have been betrayed need to learn to trust again.
Our staff offer young people a safe environment in which to build a trusting relationship with their worker, through a range of therapeutic supports including counselling skills, art, play and other forms of creative communication, such as role play, puppets and storytelling to help them understand and cope with their feelings.
We help children to make sense of their experiences and encourage them to develop trusting relationships with safe boundaries in the future. The service promotes the rights and choices of children and young people and we strive to work in partnership with children and their families.
