A little about us

We are a Norfolk charity that provide a free confidential service to young people up to 19. These young people can either be using substances (drugs, alcohol etc.) themselves (we refer to this as Substance Misuse, or SM for short) or that have a parent, carer or sibling thats using substances that could be affecting them (we refer to this as Affected Other, or AO for short).

We can also offer brief interventions to young people who may not require on going support. This can up to 3 sessions.

If you are worried about a young person that doesn't want to engage with our service, we can provide you with advice and support to better help them.
