Further information Clued Up runs the Fife Young People’s Outreach Service for 12 - 26 year-olds. This service is Fife-wide offering support and information to young people who are affected by their own or someone else’s drug/alcohol use. This service provides: informal one to one support at a time that suits the young person and in a place where they will feel safe and comfortable. We will work with young people to find out how drugs/alcohol are affecting their lives and assist them to produce an action plan to meet their individual needs. As well as helping them to contact other services that may also be able to provide appropriate support, we provide youth friendly, up-to-date information on drugs/alcohol and general health. Where suitable, participation in group work activities is also available as part of this service. The Mobile Alcohol Intervention Team (MAIT), a partnership between Clued Up, NHS Fife and Police Scotland, runs on alternate Friday evenings out on the streets in the region delivering alcohol brief interventions to young people under 16 who are under the influence or in possession of alcohol. Young people are offered a follow-up session then, if required more in-depth one to one support. Fife-wide Employability Service - run by Clued Up which aims to support young people to achieve their employability potential. We support young people aged 16-25 years affected by substance use to find their own path into education, employment or training Clued Up is one of the 8 third sector providers that make up the Fife ETC (Fife’s Third Sector Employability and Training Consortium)
