Binoh ensure young people from this community get support so that they can gain control of their drug use. Alcohol and substance use are on the increase in the Muslim population in Tower Hamlets, which is creating huge issues in families and a great deal of concern that traditional family structures are beginning to break down. The Children and Family Service work with families affected by substance use as many family members are in need of support themselves. 45, DISC works to promote social inclusion and strengthen communities. Their Safe Voices project provides a child support worker and an adult support worker to engage and support vulnerable children whose lives are impacted upon by their parent s alcohol misuse. They support children through a group work programme, develop action plans with families, a support group for grandparents and other family members and provide mentoring services. Young people usually become homeless to get away from a desperate family situation. They often have many problems such as with drugs, alcohol or mental health. Moving On provides them with the help needed to find somewhere to live and supports them so they have a chance to take hold of their lives and make their own choices. Many of the homeless young people staying at Darlington YMCA have severe mental health and/or drug problems. They have a mental health worker to work with these vulnerable young people in groups or one-to-one, providing the support they need to begin to take control of their lives and avoid becoming homeless again. Blackpool has a large number of disadvantaged and vulnerable young people affected by drug use, which is made worse by homelessness, exclusion from school, youth crime and antisocial behaviour. This project provides young people with one-to-one, face-to-face support to help them work through their difficulties and get their lives back on track. Drugs and alcohol abuse affects many areas of young people s lives including their health, housing, education, training, and employment. YPAS provide counselling, support, advice and information for young people in Merseyside so they can move away from drugs and on with their lives. Post natal depression affects up to 100,000 women each year in the UK. In some close-knit communities mental health issues still carry levels of stigma which prevent women seeking help. This project provides intensive practical and counselling support to young Orthodox Jewish women in north east London affected by post natal depression. 74, Being a teenager is hard enough, but having scars from heart surgery makes life even tougher. Many parents also find it difficult to allow their children to be independent which can lead to their children feeling confused and vulnerable. The Children's Heart Federation run residential weekends with young people and their parents to tackle of these difficult and complex issues. 51, BMEC Drugs - BMEC Drugs

This means many feel isolated and don t know about the services available to them.
