The Service will aim to reduce the harm caused by illegal drugs (and other substances) to individuals their families and the wider community.

Many young carers experience complexity in their lives through overcrowded housing, social isolation, loneliness and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) particularly problematic substance use by parents, poor parental mental health and parental separation recognizing that each young carer has their own gifts, attributes and strengths.
