What we do

CAMFA 14+ is an extension of our CAMFA service, supporting people in the six counties of North Wales, this being Gwynedd, Ynys Môn, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham. It’s a service for people who are concerned about their own drug and / or alcohol use and need support in remaining drug and / or alcohol-free. We are also a service for those who have been affected by the substance use of a family member.

This service can be delivered either face-to-face, online or by telephone, between Monday and Friday, between the hours of 9am and 5pm. But we do offer some evening appointments also, to meet people’s needs.

Who do we support

It’s a therapeutic service for people aged 14 – 25 years old needing specialist substance use psychological interventions. We offer a wide range of interventions, from one-to-one counselling support, motivational interviewing, and extended brief interventions to cognitive behavioural therapy.

This service is for people aged between 14 years and 25 years.

Is there a charge to use this service?

No

Can anyone use this service?

To access the service you can either self-refer or do so via a professional i.e. teacher, GP, social worker etc. Referrals from family members are also accepted, but with the consent of the young person, as long as you reside in one of the six counties of North Wales, and have a GP in the same area also. If you would like to request more information or to discuss the referral process with us, please get in contact using the phone or email address above.
