Fraserburgh Families Service
The Fraserburgh Families Service helps young children under five whose families are affected by parental drug and alcohol misuse.
Our staff build relationships with adult family members offering direct support to parents at times of emotional and/or practical need giving them practical help in caring for their children in the most safe and nurturing way they can.
We also run the Mellow Parenting programme which allows parents to explore their relationship with their child and look at how substance misuse impacts on parenting, while children enjoy activities like one-to-one focused sessions, play, infant massage and holiday groups.
As well as spending quality time with their children, we also put parents in touch with others, who can help, such as local community groups, health care, social work and substance misuse services.
The service continues to develop in a flexible way in response to local need and evaluation of effective practice.
