How we can help you

If you are experimenting with drinking and drugs, or you think you might have a problem, we can help you make changes.

Our personalised, free, confidential support is for young people aged 5–24 in Coventry.

We can also give advice and support around sexual health and unhealthy partner relationships. 

We offer:

  • One-to-one sessions tailored to your needs
  • Information on substances, risks, and harm reduction
  • Support to build confidence, coping strategies, and healthier routines
  • Referrals to other services that might be helpful
  • Wellbeing extras like sleep support, acupuncture, and diversionary activities (boxing, music production, climbing, and more)

We will talk to you about how you want your appointments. We can meet you in person at a place where you feel comfortable such as at our office, school or our allotment. Or we could speak via phone calls, video calls or social media. 

If you're worried about someone else, please feel free to get in touch, and we will give you advice on the steps to take. 

We also offer parents' support in a group setting, run by our Children and Families team.

Your first visit

When you visit our service, a friendly member of our team will greet you. They will give you a hot or cold drink and a biscuit and help you get comfortable in our reception area. Then your worker will take you to the relaxed one-to-one room.

Bringing someone for support

We understand that you may feel anxious or nervous on your first visit. It's fine for you to bring someone with you. We'll make sure they feel welcome and comfortable, too. 

Further support

We've compiled some useful websites, helplines, and apps for young people and the people who support them.

Impact Support

For children and young people aged 5–18 affected by someone else's drug or alcohol use – a parent, carer, sibling, partner, or friend.

We offer a safe space to talk, explore feelings, and build coping skills at your own pace, through conversation, creative activities, or practical support – whatever feels right for you.

We can also help with related challenges like mental health, family relationships, and emotional wellbeing.

Parents and carers can also join our weekly support group.
