These free confidential drop-in sessions and workshops are for young people who want more information about drugs and alcohol misuse and the help available to individuals and families in Islington.
So if you are worried about yourself, a friend or family member then this is a good place to have an informal conversation.
Islington Young People's Drug and Alcohol Service (IYPDAS) work with young people who are using or experimenting with cannabis, balloons (nitrous oxide), other drugs or alcohol. They can give honest information about how they work, what the risks are, and how you can reduce those risks - as well as techniques to deal with peer pressure.
You do not have to want to stop using to speak to them.
