YSAS recognises adolescence as a time of rapid growth and development and, through a range of health and welfare services, enable young people and families to overcome problems associated with substance use, mental health and behaviours such as offending and self-harm. YSAS provides practical support and evidence-based clinical services for young people experiencing serious problems, but also intervene as early as possible with those at risk to prevent problems from escalating and becoming entrenched.
