What we do

Switch is Adferiad’s children and young persons’ alcohol and drug use service. Our service covers Neath/Port Talbot and offers free and confidential advice, information and support to young people aged 11-25. We also support family members that are affected by a significant others’ substance use. We offer a safe space for young people to speak about any concerns or questions they have with the aim of helping them understand addiction. We want young people to feel they are listened to and are given a say in how they feel about things that affect them. Overall, the Switch service aims to dispel myths and give information in the aim of removing any stigma around services and improving the lives of all involved, helping to improve the communities people live in.
