CHILDREN/YOUNG PEOPLE

Addressing the needs of children of substance using parents. An evaluation of Families First's Intensive Intervention (23rd December 2008)
In response to Hidden Harm (ACMD, 2003), the government outlined its commitment to fund research identifying what types of services and interventions work with children of problem drug and alcohol users and their families (DfES, 2005). This evaluation of Families First’s intensive intervention was commissioned by the Department of Health and is in accordance with this objective. Families First is an intensive family intervention which provides advice, social work intervention and support for adults and families on substance use related issues. The study findings aim to add to the UK evidence base and inform the development of future interventions for children affected by parental substance use.
