The Whole Family Wellbeing approach in Aberdeenshire is part of a long-term national commitment to support families earlier, before difficulties become more serious. It focuses on prevention, early support and joined-up working, helping families access the right support at the right time and reducing the need for crisis or statutory intervention where this can be safely avoided.
Family Wellbeing Hubs
Our Whole Family Wellbeing Hubs Team works alongside families, communities and partner organisations to provide accessible, relationship-based support. The team focuses on building trusting relationships, recognising existing strengths and offering support in a trauma-informed way.
By offering the right advice and support, in the right way and at the right time, the team aims to improve family wellbeing and help prevent or reduce crisis. Support may be provided by a range of organisations, including local services, professionals, third sector partners and trusted community organisations.

Our objectives
Our ambition is to help create communities where families can build confidence, strengthen relationships and access support in a way that feels natural, welcoming and easy to use. The Team are open and inclusive, recognising that everyone may need help at some point in their lives and that many people also have support, skills and experience to offer others.
Whole Family Wellbeing is one of the five priorities in the Aberdeenshire Children and Young People’s Services Plan. It supports families to access early, effective help that builds on strengths and improves wellbeing.
