Every child deserves to feel safe, seen and supported.
Through Rookie Rockstars Wellbeing and Support, we provide compassionate help for children, young people and families who are finding life overwhelming.
Our approach is trauma‑informed, neurodiversity-informed, relational and creative-offering a safe space where emotions can be explored, confidence can grow, and families feel genuinely supported.
Around 4000 children in Scotland are waiting for mental health support at any given time. In December 2025 alone, CAMHS received 8,841 referrals.
Referrals are rising faster than capacity.*
Our communities need a unified approach where we seek solutions, not blame. We all know the saying “It takes a village to raise a child.”
Through our wellbeing and support services, we aim to bring back the village. (*publichealthscotland.scot)
Wellbeing & Support is a growing department within Rookie Rockstars, designed to sit alongside our music schools across the country.
We are currently launching our first Wellbeing and Support Centre and our long‑term vision is that every community with a Rookie Rockstars music school will have access to a dedicated Wellbeing and Support Centre offering support for children, young people and families.

Flexible Support For Schools
Every school is different, and so are the needs of their pupils and families. We offer flexible, tailored programmes that can be shaped around the rhythm, culture, ethos and priorities of each school.
Our most effective model combines:
• A Counsellor providing play‑based therapeutic support
• A Home School Partner offering relational, practical and whole‑family support
Together, they create a consistent wellbeing presence across the week – supporting pupils, strengthening relationships with families, and reducing barriers to learning.
This model aligns naturally with GIRFEC and the SHANARRI wellbeing indicators, supporting multi‑agency working and early intervention.
In addition, our trained wellbeing volunteers enhance the support we provide, adding further flexibility and value to our school wellbeing programmes.
Children do not exist in isolation, they are part of a family system.
Our Home School Partner role is designed to honour that reality.
This role blends:
• Attendance monitoring and early intervention
• Reducing barriers to learning
• Strengthening relationships between school and home
• Supporting parents and carers in a holistic, non‑judgemental way
• Helping families navigate challenges that impact school life
By working relationally with the whole family, we create the conditions for lasting change, not short‑term fixes.
Our counsellors and wellbeing staff provide:
• Play‑based counselling
• Creative therapeutic approaches
• Small‑group wellbeing sessions
• Emotional literacy and resilience groups
• Tailored programmes designed with the school
This combination offers consistent, safe and available emotional support for children who need it, while offering flexibility to enhance the school’s existing supports and school partnerships.
Our staff are open to new ideas and are committed to working collaboratively with schools and partner agencies.
A Fresh Approach To Community Wellbeing
We believe schools and communities thrive when wellbeing is woven into everyday life. We value compassion, creativity and connection.
We believe wellbeing is not an add‑on, but a core part of helping children, families and communities thrive.
Our approach is:
• Person‑centred
• Trauma‑informed
• Neurodiversity informed
• Family‑focused
• Creative and relational
• Research-based
• Grounded in dignity, safety and hope
We are committed to building environments where children of all abilities can learn, grow and flourish, supported by adults who understand the power of connection.
As we expand across Scotland, our goal remains simple:
To create spaces where families, children and young people feel supported and empowered, and where communities feel stronger.
Wellbeing and Support Centres
Our Wellbeing and Support Centres are a fresh approach to community wellbeing designed to be safe, welcoming spaces where families, children and young people can access support, connection and community.
We believe schools and communities thrive when wellbeing is woven into everyday life.
Current Initiatives (and soon to launch)
• Pop-up Wellbeing Shop:
Opening soon, offering affordable wellbeing products – because wellbeing shouldn’t be expensive or exclusive.
This will also support sustainability of the wellbeing centre, helping us to offer reduced cost services and support families on low incomes.
Our pop-up shop will be open to all and will provide a window into our wellbeing and support services, facilitating community, trust, connection and the opportunity to engage with support at your pace if requested.
• Youth Hangout (launching soon):
A safe, cool space designed by young people – with comfortable seating, creative lighting, hot chocolate, beanbags and opportunities for friendship, support and empowerment.
This space will host needs-based topic groups allowing young people to explore and ask questions they don’t typically have the opportunity to ask. Our groups will involve chat, interactive learning, games and creative activities tailored to the needs of the individual group.
The groups will run on demand so please register your interest here:
• Calm Cabin (launching soon):
A home‑from‑home space for parents to unwind, chat with wellbeing staff, or simply rest. Various crafts and mindfulness activities will be made available to help unwind the mind, with wellbeing support on hand should you need it.
Our wellbeing staff are there to listen, support with strategies, offer signposting to further support and host learning opportunities that will enhance the wellbeing of you and your family.
One-to-one private support is also available, if required.

Sign up to our e-news here.
Our centres will grow with the community – shaped by the ideas, needs and voices of the people who use them.
Our activities and services may involve a small cost to ensure sustainability, however, when funds are available we will offer sponsored spaces for low income families.
Please email us at [email protected],uk to request a sponsored space, or call us on 0141 486 7636.
We value dignity and equality, so you can be assured that sponsorship will not be disclosed to others and has no impact on the quality of support you receive.
We look forward to welcoming you!
