Young People's Service - Newham

If you're worried about your drug or alcohol use, we're here for you. We can provide advice, support, one-to-one sessions, harm minimisation and more. We'll meet you at a location that's convenient for you - which might be school or a coffee shop. We are also available on the phone, via email, and on Instagram (see link at the bottom of the page).

As a young person, it can be very stressful trying to support someone with a substance issue. We support young people who are worried about the substance use of someone close to them, this can be a friend, a parent or a carer. We can offer you help via phone, video call and face-to-face to help support you through this.

Our family and carers service is happy to provide you with support for your child, or a child you are caring for, with substance use concerns. You will be provided with drug and alcohol education and a tailored support package as well as group support. You can refer the young person directly to our service by filling out the short form on the Referrals page of our website. We also offer training and workshops for parents and carers around different substances - see details on the Professionals page.
