Insight is a confidential support service for young people under 25, living with or affected by drug and alcohol issues, in Kensington & Chelsea.

We work with young people who are facing drug or alcohol issues.  We provide advice and information on harm reduction and prevention, as well as therapeutic interventions to complement the needs of young people accessing the service.

The staff team have extensive experience of working in schools, colleges and youth focused centres, providing information, advice and guidance on matters relating to drug/alcohol use.  We work with other professionals, parents and young people to provide specialist support and flexible access on evenings and weekends.

Insight recognises that the needs of young people under 25 differ according to the individual; therefore the needs of the individual are at the centre of our service. 

In fact the name 'Insight' was chosen by young people who felt the staff and service were well placed to provide 'insight' into their ongoing issues.  If you look carefully at the service logo you will see some of the influences that may be affecting a young person's progress...
