Children and Families Work:

The service benefits from specialised interventions provided by Barnardo's. The Barnardo's staff offers their experience and skills in providing a service for children and young people who have experienced family substance misuse. The aim of the work is to improve the quality of life of children by promoting resilience in young people. This is achieved by providing one to one support, group and family based work which ultimately complements the individual work with adults undertaken by Turning Point Scotland.

The office is open Monday to Friday 0900 to 1700 hours for enquiries and referrals.

The service is open mornings, afternoons, with some evening and occasional weekend work taking place at our sister project, South East Alternatives in the Gorbals.
