What we do
The service offers tailored support for children and young people aged up to 16 years who are, or have been, affected by parental substance misuse, poor parental mental health and who may be living in households where there is domestic abuse. The service aims to support children and young people to have a safe space, to be listened to, have their views heard, gain a greater understanding of their family situation, reduce isolation and increase self-esteem. We take a whole family approach by offering support to parents and carers, building on strengths, helping to reduce risks and promote positive change.
