Aquarius - Birmingham Young People’s Service

We will support anyone under 18, living in Birmingham with a substance misuse problem or offer support to those affected by parental substance misuse. Many of the children and young people we work with also have other vulnerabilities; school exclusions, truancy, teenage pregnancy, child sexual exploitation, in care or leaving care, homelessness, mental, emotional and physical health issues, offending, lack of education attainment and unemployment. We know that some children and young people suffer neglect because of parental or guardian substance misuse. In all cases we work with young people/children as individuals, treating them with respect and care, taking time to understand them and agree together how we can help.
