River - Liverpool Young People Support Services
Support for parents
We understand how worrying it can be if you suspect or know that your child is using substances.
Open communication and trying to stay calm when having these difficult conversations are key and we have put together some other tips that you can read here.
If your child is happy to talk to us that’s great. You can fill in our online referral form and one of our specialist trained practitioners will call them straight back for an informal chat.
If you are worried about your child but they are not ready (or willing) to admit there’s a problem then we are still here for you. Give us a call for confidential advice on 0151 706 9747

We offer training for professionals in Liverpool, focusing on drugs and alcohol. Topics we currently have available throughout the year are:
