Young People's Service - Derbyshire


We're a free and confidential service for young people aged 18 and under living in Derbyshire (excluding Derby City) who are using drugs or alcohol and want some support.
We don't judge and we understand that every person's experience is different.
How we can help
It's up to you whether you want to make changes to your substance use or not. We're here to provide support and advice with the challenges you're facing in your everyday life.
Our support can range from one-off to long-term support.
We know it can sometimes be difficult to talk openly and honestly, especially about drugs and alcohol, so we try to make it as easy as we can for you. We will come to see you where you want to be seen. This could be at school, college, a youth centre or at home.
We welcome everyone to our services, no matter their background, religion, disability, sexual orientation, culture or gender.

Support we offer
- One-to-one support for those using drugs or alcohol. This can range from short-term support around education, safety and awareness, as well as preventing a relapse, to long-term support around making changes.
- We can help you to find and access other services you might need.
- Group work for those using or at risk of using drugs or alcohol.
- Presence at stall events and outreach in the local community.
- Information, advocacy and support, for families, carers and professionals.
Referrals
We welcome all referrals from young people, family, friends and professionals.
We will need the young 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 or carer.
You can make referrals on the phone or via our online referral form. Our phone number is 01773303646.
Once we receive your referral, someone from our team will be in touch to set up an in-person chat with the young person you referred.
We know that you might have a lot of questions and might be unsure what the next step to getting help is. If you’d like to speak to us about your concerns and want to find out more about how we can help, please get in touch.
If you would like to make a request for group work, stall events or joint community outreach, please email [email protected].
