A family crisis can happen at any time. That’s why Aberlour’s Sustain Service in Falkirk is there for families every day.

We provide accessible, high-quality, home-based family support for Falkirk children to ensure they remain at home whenever possible.

How we help

Sustain supports whole families, offering personalised support for both children and their parents. The service is delivered 7 days a week including evenings and weekends.

The support offered is both emotional and practical. The service works with families and parents to secure a nurturing environment for children aged 12-18. It also supports parents, carers, and kinship carers to develop their ability to care for their children, provide practical parenting skills and help build their ability to engage with the community.

The service is flexible in its intensity and aims to encourage the building of family routines, resilience and improve parental confidence.

All referrals come through Falkirk Council.

“We are proud to have developed this model from our first service in the Highlands, launched in 2018, subsequently expanding to The Scottish Borders and to Perth & Kinross. This last year, we have established new Sustain services in North Ayrshire, Angus and Falkirk.”
