We provide information, advice and help for young people who are impacted by drug and alcohol misuse, as well as guidance and support with sexual health and relationships. Our service is open to young people living in the London borough of Enfield, as well as family, friends and carers of those affected by someone’s drug and alcohol use.

We can meet you in the community or at our service, and your key worker will work with you on any issues that will enable you to move forward with your life in a positive way. We understand everyone is individual and have a range of options to suit everyone.

UNIVERSAL AND ADULT SERVICES (18-25)

If you were not involved with HEART CAMHS before your 18th birthday but you need support with your emotional wellbeing, then your Personal Advisor can advise you how to access community services through your GP or the local voluntary sector.

If you have more significant health or emotional wellbeing problems, and need ongoing support from a specialist team, you may qualify to receive this from the Council’s Adult Services when you turn 18. If this is the case, you will be supported through this transition to adult services by your leaving care worker who will continue to work alongside you and adult services until you reach at least 21 years old, or until you are 25 years old if you request this.
