Outreach is a responsive, flexible way to support young people. Support is delivered where young people live, hangout and feel comfortable.
WHAT HAPPENS?
There are heaps of ways you can get help with an outreach worker. Outreach workers can help with:
Assessing your needs and planning support with you
Referrals and linkages
Family support
Info and education
General counselling
Nurses also often do outreach to:
support medical care
support home based withdrawal
WHAT COULD I EXPECT?
Sometimes appointments are still necessary with outreach services but they do all differ. Generally you can expect to get support in your community and in the places you live your everyday life.
Some outreach workers also come and hangout in areas where young people may need help.
WHO IS IT BEST FOR?
Outreach is great if there is a fair bit going on in your life besides your use of drugs or alcohol. It’s really good if you need some practical support to get stuff sorted at the same time as dealing with drugs or alcohol-especially if there aren’t many other people that can help you out in this way.
there are lots of different drug and alcohol supports that suit different people at different times
