About Forth Valley Intensive Perinatal Service
“The best way we can help a new baby is to ensure that their parent’s needs are met and their trauma attended to” – Dr Bruce Perry (2020). Aberlour has always seen the benefit of early intervention and is pleased to have received funding from the Scottish Government to work across Forth Valley supporting new parents pre‑ and post‑birth. By working alongside new parents, we aim to facilitate recovery from problematic substance use and improve parenting capacity and confidence, positively impacting outcomes for both parents and their new babies. The service operates 7 days per week, from 8am to 8pm, flexibly meeting the needs of parents and families. We cover pre‑birth to the baby’s first birthday, offering strength‑based, whole‑family support.
