A family crisis can happen at any time. That’s why Aberlour Sustain Service in Angus is there for families every day. We use person-centred, asset- based approaches to help families overcome various challenges and difficulties helping them get back on their feet. Our whole-family approach means we can create personalised support for both the children and their parents.

This innovative, creative service focuses on families with children aged 0-18 years old and supports them to remain at home supporting while maximising their potential and ability to flourish in their local communities. We also aim to support local professional stakeholders and communities to coproduce solutions.
