Young Person's Service

Are you the parent or the carer of a young person with an unacknowledged problem with drugs or alcohol? Is the chaotic behaviour of a young person disrupting your home? Are you at the point where you simply want the young person to leave?

Are you a young person with a drug or alcohol problem that is controlling your life?

We have a specialist Floating Support service for young people. The team will also work with parents and carers with the aim of bringing stability to a fragile situation. We can help with:

Understanding and managing drug and alcohol issues
Making and maintaining contact with drug and alcohol services
Homelessness prevention
Sourcing, applying for and moving into accommodation

You can be assured of complete confidentiality.

You can contact us on 01325 366397 and self-refer or just come along to a Drop In on Tuesdays and Thursday (9.00-12.00am) at our Head Office, Roadway House, Beaumont Street West, DL1 5SX
