Supporting women to grow
Willow Service work with Edinburgh women aged 18+ involved in the Justice System within the past year. This can be as part of an Order or by choice. We adopt a ‘no wrong door’ approach.
Willow is a safe space where women can grow. We are trauma informed and offer a woman only service. We realise the impact trauma can have on women’s lives. Trauma is very common for women involved with the Justice System. This is often linked to why women come to the service. Willow has a strong mental health focus. This is to help women heal and improve self-worth.
