What we do
C.O.D.S offers a wide range of services for children, young people aged 8 – 18 (25 if care experienced) and families who are referred for specialist intervention in relation to harmful behaviours towards others, at risk of exploitation and also young people who are using substances. Young people are supported to explore the impact of their behaviour on self, family and community, risk management, personal safety, family, school and peer relationships, self-esteem and resilience. For parents we can offer systemic family work along with the use of parenting programmes, developing a consistent approach to managing behaviour, developing positive communication, routines, boundaries/consequences and work with brothers and sisters.
