- Sexual health
- Drugs and alcohol use/misuse, including information on drugs and the law
- Crime diversion including anti-social behaviour and it’s consequences

Reaching Out
Detached Outreach work is all about reaching out, making contact and
working with you (young people) wherever you may be. this could be in
the streets, parks, youth clubs, the area you live in or the area you hang out and even in the school you attend.
.
The outreach workers are flexible, approachable and independent. We are
not connected to the Police or the Social Services so any thing you may
want to speak to us about will be dealt in confidence according to our
confidentiality policy.
