The Place - Nottingham
Announcement: This service was previously known as: Jigsaw
How we can help
Here at The Place, we offer a range of support services primarily for young people up to the age of 25 around drugs and alcohol.
We also offer specialist support in a confidential and safe space for children and young people impacted by somebody else’s substance use (sometimes referred to as 'hidden harm').
Our aim is to provide you with the knowledge, skills and confidence to identify and appropriately respond to risk associated with substance use.
You can expect to receive:
- A free, welcoming service
- Access to advice and information
- Person-centred support that is suited to meet your individual need
- Opportunity to increase your knowledge around substances
- Support in how to deal with the impact of substances on you and your family
- We also offer professionals training free across Nottingham.
How to make a referral
We welcome all referrals from young people, family, friends and professionals. We will need the person’s consent if you are contacting on their behalf.
If a young person is under the age of 13, we will need consent from a parent.
If you'd like to refer yourself or someone else, you can use our online referral form. Alternatively, you can download our referral form. Once you’ve filled it in, please email it to [email protected]
You can also sign up to our mailing list.
