Support for People Abused in Care
MindMosaic works in partnership with Future Pathways to support people who have experienced *abuse while in care in Scotland.
Future Pathways supports people who experienced abuse or neglect as a child in care in Scotland. We can arrange and pay for support to help you find your own pathway to a positive future.
Future Pathways is open to you if you experienced abuse or neglect in care, or your experience in care has had a lasting negative impact on you as an adult.
‘In Care’ means:
- Residential Care (for example, children’s home, orphanage, young persons unit)
- Boarding school (state, private, independent)
- Foster care
- Young Offenders Institution
- Having a long term stay in hospital
Everyone’s different, so your support is built around you, and what’s important in your life.
The types of support you could get include:
- counselling
- psychological trauma support
- help to find records
- access to education
- support to find work
- activities in your local community
- health and well-being activities
You may also be able to purchase one-off items through Future Pathways to help you achieve a better quality of life.
You’ll meet with a Support Co-ordinator to talk about whats important to you.
You might have a clear idea about the type of support you need – or you might need a bit of help getting to that place.
Your support Co-ordinator can help you think about how Future Pathways could support you. Then together, you’ll agree and set up your support.
