The Early Help Team works closely with police colleagues, while being completely independent of the justice system. Although based in Inverclyde, the service will be available to people living in other local authorities who are in Greenock police custody.
The service provides short term support to people who have self-identified a need(s) in a ‘reachable and teachable’ moment, to seek the help they need through a wide network of partner agencies within local communities. This 2-year test of change is funded by the Drugs Death Task Force and will prioritise people who are not receiving treatment and who may be experiencing a range of complex needs as evidence suggests they may be at the highest risk of a drug-related death.
