Supporting Scotland's Children

Research shows that Parental Conflict has a profound impact on children’s emotional and social development. Home is where children learn to love, care and respect others. Troubled family relationships can lead to troubled children at home, in school and in the community. Good relationships between parents are crucial for children and give them the best start in life.

Financial pressure is one of the main causes of couple relationship conflict. Since the beginning of the recession, there has been a 20% increase in demand for SMC’s relationship counselling services.

SMC’s Relationship Counselling can:
• Support, build and sustain healthy relationships
• Improve family life
• Increase warmth of parent/child relationship
• Reduce underachievement at school and anti-social behaviour
