A vital support service helping families at risk across Dumfries and Galloway is expanding due to the huge demand from struggling parents.
The council’s family support team was set up 18 months ago and became a lifeline service to around 200 vulnerable kids and their families during the height of the pandemic.
The team, made up of social work staff, is now supporting 226 children and 129 families, many of which are dealing with alcohol, drug, and/or mental health issues.
