About Aberlour Routes Falkirk:

Routes is an evidence-based youth work programme which supports young people aged 12-26 years affected by alcohol or drug use within their family.

Routes offers a mix of one-to-one and group support, along with a busy programme of activities and events bringing young people together.

There is no time limit to their involvement, allowing trust to develop with workers and other young people, and all support is individually tailored to each young person.

The Routes model engages young people to effect change in their lives, recognising that living with chaos and trauma in your family does not need to lead to poor outcomes.

With the right support, young people can take a very different path, and have a positive future.
