Who are we?

Based in the adult substance misuse service we are a small team of specialist substance misuse workers with great deal of experience in working with children and families, and are committed to the task of helping families stay together. We provide a triumvirate of Hidden Harm expertise to treatment workers. We are closely linked to other support services such as children Centres, Schools and Nurseries, Mental Health teams, Domestic Violence Unit, Social Services and Housing etc.

Our aim

Our aim is to help ensure children and young people are safe in their own homes and community, have their needs identified and responded to while their parents/carers are going through treatment changes.

We aim to keep families together by working in partnership with adults, balancing the needs of the children without alienating or blaming the parents, but knowing when parents need to be challenged about their behaviour and the impact this is having on their children.
