Summer referrals to the Matthew Project

A message from Luke Adcock, Service Manager at the Matthew Project:

Information

If you're thinking about referring a student to the YouCan or Unity service, please do so ahead of the summer break. 

We have two services available to support your students: 

  • YouCan - support for children and young people affected by a family member's drug or alcohol use
  • Unity - support for young people who are concerned about their own drug or alcohol use

We have found that engagement over the summer break is much stronger when young people are able to meet with a practitioner within their school or college before the end of term. 

To make a referral, please complete the appropriate referral form

If you have any questions or are worried about a young person, please contact us: 

You can find out more about our services on our Young People's website.

To stay up to date with news and updates from our teams, you can sign up to our professionals newsletter.

We have also recently launched a range of training opportunities for professionals at The Matthew Project - Young People training opportunities
