Forward Leeds is the free, confidential alcohol and drug service for adults, young people and families in Leeds. Our dedicated support line is 0113 887 2477.
This month is #StressAwarenessMonth so we wanted to highlight our Stress Bucket model which is ideal for using in groups of adults or children to spark a discussion about causes of stress and underlying factors that can mean some people are more easily stressed than others. ⚡️
Today some of our Young Persons Team will be in the Food Hall in @LeedsMarkets ready to answer any questions you have about the risks & effects of drugs & alcohol - and to let you know about the great support that we can offer. Come and have a chat between 11 - 3pm TODAY!
Join our next online learning event, 'Understanding and addressing suicide amongst people experiencing alcohol problems.'
We’ll be hearing from a range of speakers and looking in-depth at this complex interrelationship, and considering what we can all do to reduce harm and save lives.
🗓️10:00 to 12:50, Thursday 13 March 2025
