Aberlour Director of Children and Families @liznolan243, spoke to @BBCr4today The World Tonight about the positive impact of our Mother and Child Recovery Houses. But more needs to be done. We need long term funding to make a significant impact. 🎧Listen to the interview.
Aberlour’s Perinatal Befriending Service is there for mums to lend a listening ear without judgement 💙 Through the support of her befriender, Carla, Kelly* was able to build her confidence and feel supported to do so.

Hearing from @NatalieDon_ on what progress @scotgov has made to #KeepThePromise and what more they still need to do. Good to hear the Minister highlight our Intensive Perinatal Service in Falkirk as an example of whole family support keeping families together. #StoriesOfChange
