About Aberlour Youthpoint Moray
Our Youthpoint Moray service provides help to children and young people in Moray who may be struggling with their emotions and behaviour, prompting concerns about their well-being. Our young people's workers provide one-to-one and group work support for our children and young people, in a safe and relaxed setting. They help them to understand the issues that are affecting them, that can sometimes be the cause of their behaviour. They help them take steps to overcoming their difficulties at home, school and in the community.
Aberlour Youthpoint Moray provides three distinct services to young people in Moray; Intensive Community Support (ICS), Early Help and Mentoring and YP Zone.
The intensive community support service funded by The Moray Council works with young people and families to help them achieve their full potential and develop important life skills through non-formal educational activities. ICS also supports young people and families to gain a better understanding of themselves, others and society by providing a safe, non-judgemental and nurturing environment. This is delivered via 1 to 1's, group work, and family support.
Early Help and Mentoring service provides support to disadvantaged, excluded and vulnerable young people and their families to enable them to gain and retain control of their own lives and remain safely in their own homes and communities. Early Help and Mentoring supports young people to improve their health and wellbeing, make positive and informed choices and develop young people's self-awareness and confidence. Early Help is delivered by Young People's Worker's through 1 to 1 and group work and family support. Mentoring and befriending delivered by volunteers on a 1 to 1.
YP Zone uses a harm reduction approach with young people to reduce their alcohol and substance use, this is delivered through 1 to 1 support, group work sessions as well as detached and outreach community work. YP zone supports young people to develop their knowledge and confidence on alcohol and substances, provides opportunities and experiences for young people to consider risk, take ownership and make positive informed choices.
