Glen Isla Glen Clova – “The Glens”
The Glen Isla Project and the Glen Clova Project also known as “The Glens” is an all women team who support women across Angus.
The Glen Isla Project supports women who are involved with the Justice System, referrals to the Project generally come through statutory routes.
The Glen Clova Project is the “voluntary” womens’ team and referrals can be made via a current worker or by contacting the project directly.
Both Glen Isla and Glen Clova Projects work in a trauma informed way with women. The team are aware of the importance of establishing a therapeutic relationship. Enabling women to understand how their trauma has affected them is at the heart of our work, alongside developing problem solving skills, practical day to day support and advocacy work. The teams work in partnership with other agencies to offer a holistic approach to caring for and supporting the women and their families.
Quotes from women who have been involved with The Glens:
“she (my worker) is brilliant, and I don’t know what I would do without her. I have been through a lot and she helps me to feel better about things. She breaks things down for me so I don’t feel overwhelmed”
“she (my worker) tells me she is proud of me. I have never had anyone say that to me before .. and I know she is ..”
