What we do
Barnardo's Empowering Change Service supports children and families within Fife to become more confident and able to cope with life events where substance misuse has impacted on the family.
Support is offered to families with children aged 0-12 and can consist of individual support to parents and children, and also family support.
Referrals are accepted via Fife Social Work Service and Addictions Services.
We can help with
- We support children and young people when an adult close to them, or they themselves, use substances in a way that becomes problematic, harmful, or dependent. We offer them advice and information on the impact of high risk behaviours, such as drug or alcohol misuse, violence and domestic abuse. We also provide access to intervention and treatment services, along with one-to-one and peer support.
