The 'Foundation Work' was established in 2017, we are proud to be the first local charity to provide comprehensive support to entire families.

​

Our program spans over 8+ weeks, during which we educate families on emotional intelligence, needs assessment, de-escalation techniques, effective communication, and the importance of routine to strengthen their family connection and improve mental health and well-being.

In collaboration with Fife College, our programme offers young people and their families the opportunity to acquire new skills, have fun and have a feeling of achievement. This initiative is particularly beneficial for individuals who have disengaged from school, demonstrating that education can be both enjoyable and practical.

​

The family STEM group was a pilot scheme. We hope to extend this project in the future.

These parent sessions aim to 'fill the parents cup'. They are then more able to support their family.

Once families have completed the CPR work, the caravan becomes available for short breaks. This helps the families relax and connect. Some families would not be able afford a short break, without access to this caravan.

We're in the process of setting up an exciting new pilot with T.I.P. Keep an eye on our socials and website for more information.

Our annual event which encourages fun, community and exercise outdoors. This is in partnership with Gilvenbank Community Sports Hub

Our parents used art, creating a comic, to improve their wellbeing. A link to the full comic will be available soon.

Our Support worker, Kris, has trained with Sleep Action (formerly Sleep Scotland), enabling us to support our families with their bedtime routine and sleep issues, which often have a negative impact on their mental health.

The parents group is an informal session on a Friday where carers come together for a blether and a cuppa. 

​

This group reduces isolation and improves mental health and well-being, building a strong community and creating connection.

The Art Well-being Group provides young people with a valuable opportunity to express their emotions creatively while fostering meaningful connections with their peers and support workers. Here they benefit from peer-to-peer support, have a useful tool for managing emotions and feel less lonely.

We employ a sessional therapist who works with our children and young people.

These are our get togethers during the holidays, where families can play, relax and connect. We also have Pop Up information stands at events in the community.

Family days give our young people and their grown-ups the chance to have fun and new experiences. They also build connection and reduce isolation.

We have guest services popping in to provide support and information to our families. We also hold occasional workshops which will support learning for  families, going forward.

We employ a sessional counsellor for our parents. 

With strong self-esteem and positive well-being, women can take on life’s challenges with resilience. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to empower girls and women!

Our support worker, Louise, is trained to help young women feel more confident and empowered through this initiative: Get S.E.T Girls, which supports girls aged 10-16 to understand their worth and realise their potential.
