Free and confidential support for young people and families in Stoke-on-Trent who are worried about drugs or alcohol
Whether you're looking for advice for yourself, or for someone else, we work with you to make sure the right support is available, when you need it. We’ll meet you where you feel most comfortable, such as where you live, at your school, college or youth club.
If you're a young person, we can give you support that fits you. We don't preach or tell you what to do. Instead, we listen, talk things through, and help you make choices that feel right for your life.
That might mean learning how to cut down, staying safer, or just getting clear information so you can decide what you want next.
Our support is all about giving you the tools, knowledge, and confidence to make your own decisions.
When someone in your family, or someone close to you, is using drugs or alcohol, it can be hard. You might feel worried, upset, or alone.
Our Family Support team provides support to young people who are impacted by somebody else's drug or alcohol use. We offer one-to-one chats, group support, workshops, and activities to help you understand what's going on and find your own ways to cope.
One- to-one support for young people aged 11-18 in Liverpool who are facing challenges with drugs and alcohol.
Our Young Person's Workers will meet with you regularly to help you work through some of the things you are struggling with.
You can bring a parent or another person you trust, if you feel nervous about coming to see us.
Group work is helpful because it helps you learn from other people’s experiences and shows you that you are not alone. Many of the young people who work in groups form strong bonds and friendships.
You'll work together with a small group of young people on a specific issue that you share. Your Young Person's Worker will talk to you about groups, to see if this is the right option for you.
