Description

This will in turn have an impact on reducing substance related harm in the context of families, friends and the wider community including possible associated crime. The Service will aim to reduce the harm caused by illegal drugs (and other substances) to individuals their families and the wider community. This will be demonstrated through achieving positive outcomes with respect to drug and alcohol use and improvement in wellbeing of the young person over the period of engagement with the specialist service.

Many young carers experience complexity in their lives through overcrowded housing, social isolation, loneliness and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) particularly problematic substance use by parents, poor parental mental health and parental separation recognizing that each young carer has their own gifts, attributes and strengths. For practitioners, the service will support them to identify and effectively support young carers in their work e.g. schools, hospital, GPs etc.
