Switch is a Cranstoun service which provides a single point of access that meets young people’s needs bringing together services such as housing, offending and mental health. We aim to provide wrap around support for young people. We will operate from a one stop shop, attracting and engaging and supporting developing young people who are most at risk at harm due to their substance misuse. We als
o operate an outreach service offering the young people at a place suitable to them, this includes schools, collages and home. We will also run satellite clinics within various young people’s services within the city. Switch works alongside both adult and young peoples services reducing harm and potential harm.
