Corrieneuchin
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. From our centre in Aberdeen, we work with children and families across the city who have been affected by physical, sexual or emotional abuse.
Children who have been betrayed need to learn to trust again. Our staff use 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 also help children to make sense of their experiences and encourage them to develop trusting relationships with safe boundaries in the future.
It is important that staff and volunteers working with families who have suffered from abuse have a good understanding of how it affects lives. Which is why staff also provide consultancy and training to both voluntary and statutory organisations.
