- young mums up to the age of 21,
- families who have children aged 5 upwards in Leith
- carers who have children aged 5 upwards in Leith and their families, working in schools, Citadel and in-home.
Family support is delivered in a variety of different ways:
- 1:1 support
- peer support through a parent drop in or group family sessions
- family learning
- children’s 1:1 and group work sessions
The topics covered in family support can include housing advice, routines and structure for children, advice and information for parents with children with additional support needs.
