We provide programs for children and young people who may be affected directly or indirectly by alcohol and/or drugs or related issues:

• Adolescent Program: Helps young people aged 12-17 years to address their misuse of alcohol and/or drugs, and to gain confidence, stay safe and reduce the harm of substances.
