Early Break Advocacy Service

Advocacy workers offer one-to-one substance use support to young people up to the age of 21.

Together, the worker and young person will look at goals the young person wants to achieve.  Support includes education and advice around substances, harm reduction interventions and substance reduction strategies. 

The sessions can take place at a location which suits the young person and the worker, this being school / college, home, our office or the community.

Sometimes the young person may only require a couple of sessions with an Advoacy worker and other times they may work together for some time.
