About Us

How Families Experience Support

Living Well Giving is a Scottish social enterprise supporting the whole family, not just the parent or the child in isolation. We bring together psychological education, cultural understanding and practical guidance to help families navigate the conversations that matter, from emotions and communication to mental wellbeing, relationships, body safety and healthy development. Our support is designed to feel relevant, respectful and free from shame or judgement.

“Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.” Rumi, Poet.

Founder story

I’m Esraa, founder of Living Well-Giving CIC, a pharmacist, parent educator, wellbeing coach and mum of two. While my professional background began in healthcare, becoming a parent inspired me to better understand children’s emotional wellbeing, development and family relationships.
This led me to study child psychology, Psychology of wellbeing , positive communication, and age-appropriate relationships and body safety education. As I applied this knowledge in my own family, I saw how evidence-based guidance could strengthen relationships and build confidence in parenting.
I began sharing what I had learned through workshops, parent support groups and one-to-one coaching. Over time, this grew into Living Well-Giving CIC, a community organisation dedicated to supporting both children and families. Today, our mission is to provide practical, evidence-based programmes that help children thrive, strengthen family relationships, and empower parents to raise emotionally healthy, resilient and confident young people.

Voices from the Community

I am pleased to provide this recommendation for the parenting programme delivered by Living Well Giving. The organisation attended our centre and delivered two sessions, which were very well received by our participants. Parents provided positive feedback, highlighting that they learned a great deal and found the sessions both engaging and informative. The facilitator created a warm, welcoming, and non-judgemental environment where parents felt comfortable sharing their experiences and actively participating in discussions.

The Living Well Giving team recently joined us at Amina Muslim Women's Resource Centre for our weekly group session to deliver a workshop on Emotional Intelligence and Stress Management-topics that are incredibly important for women within the BME community. Esraa was outstanding. She created a warm, welcoming environment where the women felt comfortable and safe to engage. She delivered the session at a pace that suited the group, ensuring everyone understood and felt included. She answered all questions thoughtfully and explained concepts clearly and practically. What truly stood out was how relatable she was. The women connected with her because they felt she genuinely understood them, their experiences, and their cultural background. This made the session even more impactful and meaningful. We are very grateful for the support and would highly recommend this service to other community groups.

Esraa has volunteered with Home-Start supporting families with young children and has consistently demonstrated a calm, reflective, and professional approach when working with parents and carers. She shows strong awareness of safeguarding responsibilities, maintains appropriate boundaries, and responds sensitively to the needs of families, including those experiencing stress, isolation, or emotional challenges. Esraa communicates effectively, builds trusting relationships with parents, and approaches her role with empathy and respect. She is reliable, reflective in her practice, and receptive to guidance and supervision. I would feel confident in her ability to deliver parent and caregiver well-being support in a safe, responsible, and appropriate manner.

Harmony at home. The name says it all really. I found the different styles of presenting the different topics very helpful. Some talking, some listening, some slides to read, some flow charts, some videos to watch, time to reflect every detail carefully thought of and planned thoroughly. A space where I found so much comfort and came out a more confident and a happier person than what I used to be. Thankyou!
