Safe Harbour is an asset-based, psychosocial programme that supports vulnerable individuals, families and carers to become more emotionally resilient, improve relationships and improve communication. This in turn helps them develop manageable solutions to cope more appropriately with complex social and personal traumas that arise. The majority of clients engaging with the service are also enduring high levels of emotional and social disadvantage.

We are the only alternative service outside of statutory services that challenges emotional trauma & social disadvantage by improving self-esteem and building emotional resilience and confidence, alongside reducing stress and anxiety and improving self-worth. Safe Harbour as an engagement tool helps reduce many barriers to those on the edges of our communities.

Many of our clients will not engage with statutory services for these types of issues, or if they do, they can often feel judged and disengage quickly. Reducing the barriers to accessing this type of service for the most vulnerable in our communities is key to achieving meaningful short- and long-term outcomes.

The service has been funded by the Big Lottery Fund, among other funders, to continue to provide emotional support to the most marginalised and vulnerable people in Inverclyde.
