About the Project
Switch is a young person’s alcohol and drug service offering free and confidential advice to young people under the age of 25 in the Neath Port Talbot area.
The service aims to reduce the risk and harm caused by alcohol and drug use. We are not here to preach at young people, only to provide advice and information to enable young people to make safe and informed choices.
The service offers support with:
- Advice and information; face-to-face or over the phone
- Safer sex advice, free condoms, and advice and support for the LGBTQ community
- Group work, such as education and awareness sessions in or out of schools in the area
- Youth club for service users and many other activities including a summer programme
- Practical support –education training employment support, benefits and housing advice
- Referral to medical interventions such as prescribing or detox following assessment
- Referral to residential rehabilitation –pre and post-advice and support.
- Support young people and family members who have or are being affected by another person’s substance use, i.e. parents, siblings, and significant others.
