What we do
We Provide whole family support to children, young people and parents/carers impacted by parental alcohol and/or substance use. We provide CYP with a safe space and a listening adult to help them tell their story and work through their feelings, using therapeutic approaches matched to individual child’s needs. We work directly with parents and carers to enhance supporting their recovery/ support kinship care and increase understanding of their child’s needs. We work to understand what may be impacting on family and work to ensure needs are being met and families are connected to all available resources and support. Support is offered through 1:1, befriending, parent/carer Buddy, family sessions.
We also work with partners including children and young people to co0design / develop awareness raising and group work sessions around increasing knowledge and confidence in having conversations around substance use and its impact, promoting prevention/ early intervention and knowledge around support.
