Safe, stable homes with therapeutic support and consistent routines that prioritise safety, trust, belonging and love.

Specialised, individualised learning that builds confidence, skills and readiness for next steps.

How we work

Integrated approach

Our teams across care, education and therapy work closely together, meeting regularly to review each child's holistic plan.

PACE at our core

All adults at Seamab embody PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy), a therapeutic approach that builds trust and safety.

Relationships heal

We believe that positive, consistent relationships with caring adults are fundamental to recovery and development.

Trauma-informed practice

We understand how trauma affects children and shapes their environment, routines and responses accordingly.

Who we support

Supportive, small-group learning with therapeutic input and a strong focus on routines, communication and confidence.

Children who come to Seamab may have experienced a breakdown at home and perhaps in subsequent foster care placements.

Children and young people who have experienced significant trauma and adverse childhood experiences require the type of specialist services that Seamab delivers.

It is critically important that Seamab's range of services across care, education and therapy work cohesively to support the needs of the individual children and young people.

Building our future

We are committed to delivering The Promise, Scotland's commitment to care-experienced children and young people. Our service near Linlithgow enables children to stay with us until age 18, limiting transitions and providing stability.
