Support

Any young person referred to Early Break for substance misuse issues will be responded to within 24 hours. Advocacy Workers work with young people to gain a greater understanding of their needs and identify the support the young person may require. Early Break is a person-centred organisation which means the young person is always at the centre of the decision making process.

Together, the worker and young person will look at goals the young person wants to achieve. This process is known as care planning and will normally cover a whole range of areas such as substance use, physical health, emotional health, sexual health, family, education, finance and employment etc. Advocacy Workers offer one-to-one support, education and advice and offer harm reduction interventions. They have access to a doctor, holistic therapies and access to sexual health services. Sometimes the young person may only require a couple of sessions with an Advocacy Worker and other times they may work together for some time.

A young person experiencing a crisis may be a threat to themselves or others through self-harm, suicide or aggression. They may be highly vulnerable to danger, seeking help from people who may harm them, mis-using drugs and alcohol, and behaving in a reckless, risky way.

Our aim

We aim to offer you the RIGHT help, at the RIGHT time, by the RIGHT person, in the RIGHT place, 100 per cent of the time.

This will improve your overall experience, and the experience of those who care for you, and help to keep you out of hospital.

About the pathway

The pathway has created new services, and supported improvements to existing services. Most of the services are based in the community and services are available across extended hours, seven days a week.

Ongoing future development will be based on evidence and feedback from children, young people and other key people.
There are six key elements that make up the pathway:

We work closely with other professionals to make sure that action is taken and the right level of support can be given to the right people at the right time.

Child abuse can involve physical injury, neglect, or emotional or sexual abuse.

Abuse can happen to any child from any social background or ethnic group. It can involve a parent, another family member or someone else the child knows well, or it could be someone the child does not know.

If you suspect or believe a child is suffering or is likely to suffer significant harm, including any form of mistreatment or abuse, you should report your concerns.

If you work for an agency or organisation that has a policy or procedure about children at risk, then you should follow it.

If you are a member of the public, or if your organisation does not have a policy or procedure, take the following steps.

If a child is in immediate danger, you should contact the Emergency Services - 999 or Greater Manchester Police - 0161 872 5050.

If there is no immediate danger, or you need advice or information, you can either telephone the on 0161 253 5678 (outside normal office hours 0161 253 6606) or complete the online form on the Bury Council website

Therapeutic Life Story Work

What is Play Therapy?

Play Therapy is a type of therapy where play and art materials are used as the main way for children and young people to express themselves alongside a qualified therapist.

In Play Therapy sessions, children explore their own creativity and express themselves using media such as: drawing and painting, water and clay, sand tray and miniatures, messy and sensory play, drama and puppetry, poetry, movement and music.

Play Therapy sessions aim to build resilience and a child's ability to build and develop healthy relationships, and to work though traumatic experiences which may be affecting them.

Therapeutic Life Story Work (TLSW) enables children and young people who have experienced trauma of child abuse and neglect, and who are struggling with the pain of their past, to reflect, develop compassion for themselves and move on. It is a specific approach that helps the child to understand how their past is affecting their present and with support change some of the resulting behaviours and form healthy attachments.

The work is carried out by a qualified therapist and involves the carer, child and therapist working together to form a cohesive narrative of the child's past. The feelings resulting from this are processed with support and the child is given a Life Story Book at the end of the intervention.

Fair Futures provides therapeutic services to schools. This can be 1:1 support, group interventions, staff CPD or whole school development.

Please get in touch or use the contact form for more information.

Play therapy can support children and young people with a variety of issues, including trauma, bereavement, anxiety, and depression. It may be of help for children who have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

It can have benefits for children who are dealing with their parents' separation or divorce, who've experienced domestic violence or abuse, or who are in hospital or care.

Therapeutic Life Story Work can help children and young people that have had a traumatic past and those that are looked after by the local authority or have been adopted.

Fill in the contact form or use the contact details on the website to make a referral or speak to a qualified therapist about your requirements.

Fair Futures is committed to providing therapeutic services to those that cannot easily access it. It runs projects that help support the community access mental health support where it is most needed.

​

Fair Futures has funding to lead a support group for young male asylum seekers and refugees in the Greater Manchester area. This group is held weekly and provides a safe space for young people to feel comfortable and share experiences informally, if they choose to do so. It involves planning and delivering English language support alongside mental health support. Fair Futures was recently successful (2022) in securing funding to provide more targeted mental health support to this group through specific outreach work.

​

If you know of a young person that would benefit from the group, please get in touch or complete the contact form.
