Sheffield Drug and Alcohol Project
|
The North Sheffield Drug and Alcohol Project is a multi-agency
community based project working in the Southey and Owlerton
wards of North Sheffield to tackle local drugs and alcohol
issues. The project provides a wide range of services connected
to sustainable ways of preventing, treating and tackling
drug and alcohol use locally. The Project aims:
- To increase and improve access to treatment, counselling,
and care available for drug and alcohol users at their local
GP surgery. Two clinical nurse specialists, employed in
partnership with Sheffield Care Trust, and a drug and alcohol
counsellor, employed in partnership with Sheffield Alcohol
Advisory Service, to work alongside local doctors to do
this.
- To increase the understanding among young people about
substance use issues. Drug and alcohol education sessions
are organised in schools and in outreach settings. An Education
Worker, employed in partnership with SHED-Turning Point
(the young people’s drugs agency) works with the local police,
youth service workers and teachers to do this.
- To increase local residents and workers awareness about
substance use and sources of support and advice. A Community
Development Worker, employed in partnership with Healthy
Cross (a local community health project), works to empower
local volunteers through appropriate training and involve
local community members in steering the drugs project.
