One to one support

We will work with young people on a key worker basis, offering an integrated package of support services that places them at the centre.  Each young person will have an Individual Work Plan based on GIRFEC and the SHANARRI indicators, designed to address their needs and working towards a unique set of outcomes using both individual support and group work, where appropriate.  This will include working with the young person to:

• Increase their knowledge and understanding of the risks of the substances they use and the impact these substances have on their relationships, health, wellbeing and ability to reach their potential. 

• Understanding of parental substance use.

• Understand the motivation for use.

• Establish reduction programmes and relapse preventions.

• Provide alternative coping strategies including risk minimisation.

• Support positive lifestyle choices including assistance to access healthy positive activities.

• Promote positive relationships with families, peers and communities.

• Increase attainment levels at school/college etc.

• Provide support in accessing educational and/or employment opportunities.
