“I really wouldn’t be where I am today without the support of Alice** [Aberlour support worker] and Aberlour. I wouldn’t have known where to begin. By talking to Alice about my experience it is helping me to deal with it and move on. Now I am more confident, I am looking forward to the future and building a safe stable environment for my children.”Kerrie

Aberlour Family Support Service - Glasgow and

Shelter Scotland. The service is a multi-agency

partnership designed to support mothers and

their children living in the North West and South

Glasgow area who are or have been affected

by domestic abuse.

Our children & family workers are trauma

Safe & Together Model.

Referrals are accepted from a wide range of

partners including the NHS, education and

statutory services. We also accept self-referrals

from families who need our help.

How can we help?We will work with mothers and their children to:

• Assess and manage risk

• Provide housing information & assistance

• Inform women & children of their rights

• Advocate for the family

• Provide 1-2-1 support for both mother and children as appropriate

We will do this by:

• Keeping safety planning & risk assessments a priority

• Providing continuous support until each mother & their children feel safe

• Signposting & helping each mother to access additional services as needed

• Providing support & advice on criminal and civil proceedings

• Working within GIRFEC’s model
