Our new CEO
We’re delighted to announce the appointment of Lindsay Fyffe-Jardine as the new Chief Executive of Apex Scotland.
A Future Beyond Your Past
Apex Scotland and the University of Dundee are thrilled to launch our new resource to support a holistic approach to trauma-informed practice. Designed to build trust and foster self-reflection, the cards can be used for session planning, interactive games, and to help identify progress, encouraging individuals to explore their strengths and future goals.
Everything we do helps and supports people with experience of the justice system to build new lives.
By treating everyone as an individual, we create a feeling of dignity, understanding, mutual respect and, most importantly, hope for the future.
Our free and completely confidential services foster trust and provide people with a platform from which they can flourish. That could be through volunteering, getting their own place, finding employment, support with addictions and more.
Every journey is one we’re proud to take together.
While much of our work is done in person, we’ve put together free helpful online resources in different areas.
These include documents for download and answers to many frequently asked questions. This is just one of the ways we can help you, so please don’t worry if you can’t find what you’re looking for. You can learn more and get in touch directly with any questions by clicking the link below
