Coping through coronavirus

Help and advice

SCOTLAND'S NATIONAL CHILDREN'S CHARITY

The coronavirus crisis has brought huge challenges for families across Scotland. Families have told us they are unable to get work, worried where the next meal is coming from and overwhelmed by stress, loss and bereavement. Children and families' lives will continue to change because of coronavirus. Our work to keep Scotland’s children safe will continue to be needed more than ever.

We are continuing to provide practical and emotional support to families across the country. We are listening and adapting to families’ needs and creating new ways to support children, families and communities. We continue to be here to help families cope, support children to recover from trauma and communities to rebuild resilience. Our Parentline service is here for every family in Scotland.
