Help and advice for parents and carers

In Stockport, there are places you can go for help, advice and support if you are worried about someone you know using drugs. If you are worried about a child or young person (aged up to 25), the parent and family service at MOSAIC is for you. MOSAIC is the Stockport Young People's Drug and Alcohol Service and has dedicated family workers who are available to listen to your concerns, provide help and support and make sure that you don't feel that you're on your own. You could also join the parents and carers' group where you can meet other people in Stockport who are going through the same thing.

Contact MOSAIC on 0161 480 5939
or by emailing mosaic@stockport.gov.uk
