Where does your work take place?
We go to the young person's home or school once we have been contacted about a particular individual.

What impact has the programme had? The initiative has been extremely well received by young people, and this is very encouraging. A particular success was a 14-year-old who, after we resolved the firesetting issue, was able to move on from their other problems, complete an exam and get a job. This is what makes my work worthwhile.
