About Wellbeing Scotland
Wellbeing Scotland works with children and adults whose lives have been impacted by trauma resulting from child abuse, often referred to as survivors.
Child Abuse is defined as physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse or neglect experienced under the age of 18. We recognise the lasting impact that child abuse can have on wellbeing and offer a range of fully-funded services delivered by a caring team of experienced practitioners.
We have a specialism in supporting adults who experienced abuse in the care system, including help with retrieving historical records for applicants to Scotland’s Redress Scheme.
Our support pathway walks individuals through a holistic and healing journey incorporating:
- Assessment to understand individual needs and expectations
- Emotional Support to establish safety and stabilisation
- Counselling to begin processing trauma
- Group Work to promote connection and reintegration
Our vision is that individuals who have been affected by child abuse are seen, heard and empowered within a safe, inclusive and supportive space.
We understand that everyone’s experience is individual to them, and the support we offer is tailored around personal needs and goals.
