The team aspire to create equality of access and availability of services for those with severe substance misuse and those with more recreational use; for those for whom abstinence is the goal, as well as those for whom harm reduction approaches are more suitable.

  • To offer targeted and crisis work through therapeutic interventions and support to young people, promoting health and social care improvements and sustainment of alcohol/drug free status where relevant whilst responding effectively to risk issues.
  • To deliver nonmedical/ abstinencebased interventions to service users not in clinical treatment.
  • To offer ongoing support and harm reduction interventions with service users.
  • To provide a range of evidence based psychosocial interventions as identified through initial assessment, care plan, and review including both one to one intervention and group work (i.e., anxiety/stress management, coping strategies, confidence and motivation building, interpersonal and social skills training).
  • To provide support to the Adult Substance Misuse Service when required, working supportively and collaboratively with Kaleidoscope colleagues.
  • Actively seek and participate in monthly management supervision with YPSMS Team To contribute to the preparation of reports to Adferiad Recovery/ Kaleidoscope and its partnership projects.
  • To ensure service outcomes for the team are achieved within agreed standards and procedures as outlined in the delivery plan and contract with the commissioners.
