What we do
The Forth Valley Substance Service provides support to young people aged between 12 – 18 years (or 25 if care experienced) who are going through a range of difficulties related to substance use. For example, exposure to, or experience of domestic abuse, poverty, parental substance use, transient home life and exploitation.
Sessions are tailored to meet the individual needs of each young person.
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.

- No child should be left to deal with poor mental health alone so we provide services supporting children and young people's emotional health and wellbeing. We have centres where children and young people can visit and have a trained worker they can trust and talk to. We help them build their confidence and get to the root of their difficulties so they can feel safer, happier, healthier and more hopeful.
