Early Break

The whole service works from a person centred philosophy, meaning the service is client led. We have a range of core services such as advocacy (one-to-one work with young people) and training to family services and emotional health and wellbeing services.

We work in a way with our young people, and their families, so they are empowered to make changes in their lives, we help them to make positive decisions and to become responsible for the decisions they make.

This programme provides whole family support for children and family members affected by parental substance misuse. We work with parents and carers at any stage of their recovery from drugs and alcohol use.

We work with each family member separately and also as a family unit. We will work with families where there is at least one young person under the age of 18 living in the family home or where the substance using parent is pregnant. At least one of the parents should have problematic drug or alcohol use. Families can be referred by themselves or by any professional working with them.
