Opening Doors is the new umbrella name for specialist substance misuse services for young people in Bristol.

It is part of the wider youth offer in the city forming part of the ‘Someone To Talk To’ services.

The service involves the joining together of services commissioned by Safer Bristol from:

-Youth Offending Team
-Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services
-NHS Bristol
-Voluntary Sector

The aim of Opening Doors is to deliver a more joined up service to the most vulnerable young people across the city. Reaching out to young people in the settings and communities where they live.

This is done by opening doors…

… to early intervention
… to young people with complex needs
… to young people with social workers
… to young people in the criminal justice system
