Family Support

Our professional team can help you so that things get better for you and your children. We can help with challenges like building better family relationships, learning to play, working with Dads, supporting you to get your child to nursery or school and helping with morning and bedtime routines.

Financial Wellbeing  Advice

If you are struggling with debts, energy bills, council tax arrears or need advice on bankruptcy or someone to negotiate with creditors on your behalf we can provide confidential support. We will also seek to maximise your income and ensure you are getting all benefits you are entitled to.

Group Support

We offer lots groups to support children, young people and parents where you can meet other people who may have had similar experiences to your own, enjoy activities together, develop your strengths and build your confidence.

Supporting parents whose children have been removed from their care

Parents are parents whether their children are in their care or not. Children First Moray are supporting the Good Ideas Group, a group of parents who have had children removed from their care to research and share recommendations about what needs to change to keep the promise and make sure all care experienced children grow up loved, safe, and respected. Read more about their research and recommendations here. 

Supporting parents-to-be and new parents

If you or your partner are pregnant or, you are a new parent it’s normal to have feelings of uncertainty. One in 10 Mums experience low moods when they are pregnant or have a new baby. We offer help and support including a  group for new Mums where you can make friends with other people going through similar experiences and baby massage classes to help you connect with your baby.
