EaseUp - a fresh approach to youth alcohol and drug support
EaseUp is a programme designed to assist young people in the Tāmaki region struggling with alcohol and other drug issues. It is funded by Emerge Aotearoa Trust.
Officially launched in June 2019 by Health Minister Dr David Clark at Ōrākei Marae, it provides a community-based Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) service for those aged between 13 and 20 years, focusing on assertive outreach, early intervention and whānau involvement.
Intervening in the early stages of alcohol and drug misuse, and being present in the community means that EaseUp will improve the chances of rangatahi getting the support they need to turn their lives around.
EaseUp is run as a clinician and peer support partnership in the Tāmaki district between the hours of 8am and 6pm, Monday to Friday. There is also flexibility to work outside of these hours for pre-planned appointments. Clinicians and peer support specialists (people with their own experience of overcoming AOD challenges, who have specialist training) work with each young person to tailor goals based on their individual needs.
