YOUNG
PEOPLE - WHAT WE ARE DOING FOR YOU….
W:DAAT have the job of doing the best
we can to make sure that you get the support you
need around drugs and alcohol.
Here are some of the things that are happening in
Worcestershire:
•
Providing a dedicated advisory and support
service around drug and alcohol issues
for young people aged under 19 within
Worcestershire Pathways to Recovery (click
here for more info on the specialist
young people's service). They also provide targeted drug
education for young people who are identified as
vulnerable to substance misuse (family history of
substance misuse, not accessing mainstream drug
education, or with special education needs) - Contact
the Education Worker at Space for more details - 08081

•
Providing a service called Inside
Out that supports young people whose
parents, families or carers use drugs
or alcohol (click
here for info on Inside Out)
•
Helping young people in Worcestershire
who are most at risk of developing
drug and alcohol problems
•
Training and advice for professionals
who work with young people so you
can always get the best information
and support around drugs and alcohol
•
Promoting services that help young
people around drugs and alcohol so
that you know where to go, when you
need to, in Worcestershire
•
Letting young people know the facts
about drugs and alcohol and about
where they can find out more
•
Developing flexible services that
can see you, where it suits you and
when it suits you
•
Funding or involvement in a variety
of projects steered by young people
and their ideas
• W:DAAT work with pub and club owners,
the Police, Community Safety Partnerships
to try to come up with ideas that
makes Worcestershire safer on a night
out. Long queues at taxi ranks and
large crowds gathered together can
be intimidating or make getting home
safely difficult. Various initiatives
are being looked into that could
help with the chaos at taxi ranks
and fast food shops at the end of
the night.
We’d also like to hear what you think about drugs and
alcohol, and about what young people in Worcestershire need,
so get in touch…
