Ettrick Abuse Recovery Service

It was too hard to talk to Mum. I could talk to my worker. She helped me to speak about what had happened. Lorna, 10

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.

Through the Abuse and Trauma Recovery Service based in the Ettrick Family Resource Centre, our staff work to aid the recovery process for children and young people who have experienced sexual, physical or emotional abuse. Our staff use counselling skills, art, play and other forms of creative communication, to help children make sense of their experiences and encourage them to develop trusting relationships with safe boundaries in the future. We also help families to protect their children from further abuse.
