Our dedicated team of Counsellors, Art Therapists and Children’s workers offer support to children and young people aged 5-18 across the city of Edinburgh who are impacted by drug or alcohol use in their families. With experience of supporting children and young people at all stages of a family’s recovery, contact us today to see how we can help.
It helped me with my feelings at school and I am not as nervous anymore
We offer support from our central Edinburgh base, as well as in schools across the city. Children and young people can access counselling, Art Therapy, Groupwork and Support work. Once a referral is made, we will contact you to work out where and when it would be best for support to take place and what support would be most helpful. If we are supporting a child or young person, we can support their parent/carer too via our parent’s counselling service or through our CrossReach Adult Counselling and Recovery Service.
It has given my children a voice and confidence to talk about their feelings and how to handle them. They don’t feel like they have to deal with issues by themselves anymore. Parent
