Vibrant Health Advocates – Amber equips parents and carers in Arbroath with the knowledge and confidence to support their teenagers' physical and mental health — through honest, community-led information evenings that feel nothing like a lecture.
Come to our next eveningRaising a teenager in Arbroath comes with its own particular texture — the pull of the harbour, the tight-knit streets of the East Port and the West Port, the pride and the pressure of a close community where everyone knows your family. Vibrant Health Advocates – Amber was built here, by people who live here, to give local parents a space where they can ask the questions they're embarrassed to ask anywhere else.
Our health information evenings are informal, evidence-based, and led by practitioners who understand the Angus context. We cover everything from sleep and screen time to anxiety, sexual health, substance awareness and the signs that a young person is struggling. We don't judge, we don't preach, and we don't offer one-size-fits-all answers — because Arbroath families deserve better than that.

Arbroath harbour — where it all started ❤️
Every session is grounded in evidence, led by qualified practitioners, and shaped by the real needs of this community.
Our signature health information evenings are held at accessible community venues across Arbroath, designed around the schedules of working parents. Sessions are relaxed, facilitated by qualified health professionals, and always leave room for the questions that matter most to you.
Every topic we cover is grounded in current NHS Scotland guidance and peer-reviewed adolescent health research. We work closely with local GPs, school nurses, and Tayside mental health practitioners to make sure what we share is accurate, relevant, and up to date.
Arbroath is not a generic town, and our programme doesn't treat it like one — we reflect the real social fabric of this coastal community, from fishing families to newer residents, single parents to grandparent carers. No one is made to feel out of place.
