We are excited to introduce Torbay Young Person’s Drug and Alcohol Service designed specifically for providing treatment to those under 18 years of age who live in Torbay. The aim of the service is to provide accessible, confidential, and effective support for those facing challenges related to substance use.

Meet the Team
‘I have always had a primary and fundamental interest in the well-being of other humans. My inquisitive nature to explore life has led me to live and work all over the world, gaining extensive experience of teaching and coaching young people. Due to the occasionally baffling nature of our reality, I have my own experience of addiction and through this I am uniquely aware of the destructive nature of dependency and more importantly, the miraculous self-transformation involved in recovery. As a result of this, I have dedicated my life to being of service to others in guiding and supporting personal empowerment and transformation in people who may require it’.
Hello, my name is Maisie, I grew up in Torbay but spent the last 7 years in Sheffield, completing my degree in media studies and then working with adults with drug and alcohol issues. I am very passionate about harm reduction and education; in my previous role I enjoyed training hundreds of people around Sheffield on how to safely carry and use naloxone in emergency situations.
I want young people to be able to make their own informed and safe decisions, and my goal is to create a safe space where young people don’t feel ashamed about their substance use.
In my personal time I organise music events with my friends, love going swimming in the sea and hunting for bargains in charity shops!
