Public Health have published two reports which look at the scale and nature of alcohol hospital admissions, self-harm amongst children and young people in Derbyshire.

This report looks at hospital admissions as a result of self-harm for 10-24 year olds living in Derbyshire.

This report looks at alcohol specific hospital admissions amongst children under 18 years old living in Derbyshire. 

People receiving the service are supported by an enablement worker, who will help them to develop confidence in daily living tasks, such as shopping, travelling, cooking, cleaning and managing their finances. People may also be supported to join education or training classes, to find suitable paid or voluntary employment or to join community social groups.
