Dear Families,<\/p>\n
As our Community is very much in our thoughts, we are keen to support in whatever ways we can. Although our Giffnock Family has been very well supported by a variety of staff from other agencies over a long time, the present circumstances in which we are now living have changed and so therefore have some of our needs.<\/p>\n
Bearing this in mind we would like to share the variety of free and confidential support that is available to all our families. We have attached a copy of information on this from East Renfrewshire along with the Healthier Minds resource and below you will find a variety of support agencies available which may be of interest.<\/p>\n
Please continue to keep in touch with us should there be anything you may need help with,<\/p>\n
Our best wishes,<\/p>\n
The Giffnock Family Support Team<\/p>\n
