The CASA Family Service
The CASA Family Service helps children, young people and families who are having difficulties because of parental use of alcohol or other drugs.
Sometimes a parent or other carer has difficulties because of their own or their partner's use of alcohol or other drugs. This can have a big impact on everyday life and relationships for everyone in the family, particularly for children and young people. Parents may be worried about this, but not know where to get help and advice.
We help parents to provide a safer and more secure environment for everyone in the family, especially children and young people.
