About Aberlour Sustain Falkirk
This service works alongside families, communities and partners to offer caring and responsive support to young people and families. Aberlour Sustain Falkirk delivers the support families need, when they need it, every day of the year. The aim of the service is to ensure that children and young people can continue to flourish at home, at school and in their local community.
Working with Social Work Services, this innovative and creative Falkirk service focuses on supporting young people aged 12 and above, who may be on the ‘edge of care’ so that they remain living with their family in their local communities.
Our Service works with young people and their families to enhance relationships, build on existing strengths and interests, help build confidence and encourage new community connections. Our aim is to help all families feel safe, confident, capable, and included. Our approach has been developed through consultation with families and partners.
What we are looking for....
