Rosemount Family Links service

Is a unique service which supports children and families affected by drugs and alcohol misuse.  Our Child Development Worker gives intensive support to children, one-to-one and in small groups.  Our Family Development Worker helps parents to improve their relationships with their children and to get involved in activities at Rosemount and in the community. Through appropriate referrals families can access places at Rosemount's nursery, after-school care and holiday care facilities which can afford the opportunity for their children to socialise as well as improving their mental health and resilience.

Family Links also provides access to and facilitates the Triple P parenting skills programme which aims to help parents develop and manage children’s behaviour in a constructive and non-hurtful way.

The service is funded by Lloyds TSB Partnership Drugs Initiative, BBC Children in Need and Fairer Scotland Fund. For futher information contact Alex Meikle.
