Compass Young Person’s Substance Misuse Service (YPSMS)

Smoking Cessation

Compass YPSMS are now offering smoking cessation support! The service has been helping young people and adults tackle their problematic substance misuse issues, helping them to move forward and live healthier and happier lives.

Now the service is able to offer support and guidance to those young people that want to stop smoking.

Referrals for smoking cessation can be made via the same referral form or by phone. When a referral has been received, a practitioner from the service will contact the young person and see them in a place where they feel most comfortable, including schools, youth clubs and colleges.  They will be able to access structured interventions, tailored to their presenting needs and be able to access pharmaceutical interventions to assist with their treatment where appropriate.

Hidden Harm

The service also is able to support those young people that may not be using substance themselves, but have been directly impacted upon by another’s substance use. Watching a parent use alcohol and substances can cause huge amounts of confusion and anxiety in young people. By accessing support they can talk about their feelings, and any questions they have around drugs and alcohol can be answered in a non-judgmental and informative way.
