A special someone wanted to let you know they were thinking of you this holiday season, whilst also supporting our lifesaving and life changing services. Because of that, we wanted to introduce ourselves and the incredible work that goes on all over Scotland.
Our residential services work with people whose problems have become acute and who need a safe and trusted place to stay in order to overcome an addiction, work through a mental health issue, or who are no longer able to live in their own homes because of family breakdown, frailty or disability. Our community-based services work towards preventing crisis to allow people to play a valuable part in their communities.
These services are diverse and include counselling for families experiencing depression and anxiety after childbirth, support for people affected by a learning disability, children experiencing disadvantage because of poverty or discrimination, older people learning to live with dementia, or people whose lives are caught up in the justice system. CrossReach provides the vital lifechanging and lifesaving support to thousands of people all over Scotland, just like our little Marvels Group.
Little Marvels Support Group
One of our mums joined the group shortly after her son was diagnosed with complex needs. She suffered from bereavement and anxiety which resulted in her struggling to leave her home. Health visitors, physiotherapists and our team of staff came together to offer support to give her the confidence and practical ability to join Little Marvels.
After coming to the group, she was more relaxed and told us the other mums were able to support her also. Mums tell us it is the space they need to let their children play and to spend time with other Mums, who have been on similar journeys themselves. A vital lifeline to so many.
You can read examples of those stories below.
While you may never meet them, together we can be that lifeline to thousands of people every day.
