What About Me is a free and confidential service for young people aged 8 - 18 who are affected by someone else’s drug or alcohol use in Sheffield.
We are a team of specialist workers who won’t judge or tell you what to do, we are here to listen and support you. We are an outreach service, and we are more than happy to visit you wherever it is most convenient for you. We can meet you at your home, in school/college, at a local library or anywhere else that you feel comfortable.
We always welcome new clients, so please get in touch if you are interested in getting help from the service or you’d just like to ask some questions. Feel free to bring someone with you on your first visit.
We are based at 91 Division Street, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, S1 4GE. You can call us on 0114 275 2051 or email us on thecorner.sheffield@cgl.org.uk.
