Children 1st
Our Fit Like? Aberdeen hubs are a group of services in Northfield, Balgownie, and Kincorth working together with children and their families throughout the city.
Across Aberdeen we are seeing significant numbers of young children disengaged from education and unable to leave home due to feelings of anxiety as well as a huge increase in the number of children and young people referred to Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) .
We help families to identify their strengths and work with them at their pace to build on these. Reducing the likelihood of these needs escalating, it minimises the distress and disruption experienced by children and helps the whole family to recover from their experiences.
We make it easy for families to reach out for support that feels non-stigmatising and non-threatening with drop-in Saturday sessions, supper clubs and holiday programmes with an outdoor focus to give them an easy and unstructured way to get to know us. By building trust together, families feel more comfortable reaching out to us for support and we can respond with additional help at the first sign of distress.
