For young people in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, who are worried about drugs or alcohol
Whether you're looking for advice for yourself, or for someone else, we work with you to make sure you get the right support.
We’ll meet you where you feel most comfortable, such as where you live, at your school, college, youth club or the local Youth Offending Teams.
When it comes to recovery, we know that everyone’s goals are different, whether that’s making small changes, stopping completely, or finding new ways to stay safe and healthy. Whatever it is that you want to achieve, we’ll support you to get there - and we’ll be WithYou every step of the way.
One- to-one support for young people under the age of 18 who are facing challenges with drugs and alcohol.
Our Young Person's Workers will meet with you regularly to help you work through some of the things you are struggling with.
You can bring a parent or another person you trust, if you feel nervous about coming to see us.
Group work is helpful because it helps you learn from other people’s experiences and shows you that you are not alone. Many of the young people who work in groups form strong bonds and friendships.
You'll work together with a small group of young people on a specific issue that you share. Your Young Person's Worker will talk to you about groups, to see if this is the right option for you.
Mind and Body is a free mental health programme for young people who are self-harming, at risk of self-harming or struggling with their mental health. It helps young people find positive ways to manage difficult thoughts and feelings.
We deliver this programme to small groups in secondary schools and colleges in Cornwall. It’s a safe space for young people to share their worries, and explore new coping strategies.
