Over the past 10 years, CAIRScotland has developed community-based services for young people aged 10 - 25, in response to local action research.
This research has highlighted the increasing risk behaviour of young people associated with their alcohol and drug use, offending and sexual activity, including the risk of acquiring or transmitting sexual infections, including HIV and other blood borne viruses.
In response our WEB Projects provide a range of community-based interventions to target young people
at risk.
In addition, CAIRScotland has developed specialist services to provide accessible and confidential assessment, treatment and intervention services for the most vulnerable young people.
Our programmes target those who do not access mainstream services and provide interventions for those;
• At risk through their own or a family member's substance misuse
• Looked after in the community or in residential care/secure accommodation
• Young offenders
• At risk through their sexual activity
• Excluded from school
• Homeless
