Offering to help children and young people is a very important part of our work. If you are a young person and want to find out more, have a look at the Children and Young People section of our website. There, you can find out how to contact us, and hear from some of the young people we support.
What can Women’s Aid Orkney do to help Children and Young People?
Our children and young people’s practitioner’s are here to listen and help anyone aged 3-18 by:
- listening and believing them.
- not taking sides
- helping understand feelings
- finding out about out-of-school activities (even going with you to see if you like them)
- organising outings and activities with other young people in similar situations e.g swimming, watching a movie, playing games or working on projects.
- helping build self-esteem
If you think your children could benefit from specialist support, contact us, or speak to your support practitioner.
