02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
We support people from the youngest to the oldest in Tayside and Fife, who are facing relationship difficulties and family conflict, including parental separation. We provide focused, early intervention support to people in circumstances where high conflict, relationship breakdown or separation threaten their well-being, resilience, and prospects, and specifically those of any children involved. We believe that our relationships underpin and can mitigate wider issues, and we view positive relationships as key conditions of good mental wellbeing. We work with vulnerable children, young people and families, at risk of trauma and other disadvantage. We offer three core supports, Family Mediation, Counselling and Therapeutic support, and Children’s Contact Services. These focus on improving beneficiaries’ resilience, relationships, and wellbeing. We support over 1,500 people offering more than 9,000 sessions annually.
