Ettrick Abuse Recovery Service
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 Ettrick Centre in Selkirk, we work with children, young people and families across the Borders 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 and young people to make sense of their experiences and encourage them to develop trusting relationships with safe boundaries in the future.
