two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The pattern of substance use among young people is changing, both in terms of reported prevalence and complexity of the problems faced by the young people who use services. While recent years Sefton has seen a decline in the number of young people recorded as entering specialist substance use services, substance use continues to be an issue for young people with cannabis and alcohol remaining the most commonly reported substances for under 18-year-olds in Sefton
Young people who have substance use problems often have complex needs. This often involves poor mental health and self-harm, and sometimes experience of criminal or sexual exploitation. These young people need a combination of specialist substance use service and wider health and support services.
Building resilience within an age-appropriate model of young people and family substance use service delivery is central to enabling young people to develop the confidence and social capital that are protective factors against vulnerability to substances and involvement in criminal activity.
Substance use can also have a devastating impact on families. Families can support and aid recovery, but they also ofen have their own support needs. Specific support is also required for families with parental substance misuse treatment needs, this must be integrated and co-ordinated at a local level.
Intergenerational substance use is a pattern of substance use passed on within families – a pattern which can be hard to break without support and interventions. Evidence from family intervention programmes demonstrates that the lives of children and young people can be significantly improved where substance using parents are provided with targeted interventions and specialist service support that considers the needs of the whole family.
Universal prevention is also an important part of addressing local substance use. Providing school based education and wider substance use interventions plus awareness raising activity and information for young people and parents is important in developing an understanding of substance use and attendant risks and accessing help and support.
