Peter, 19, was referred to the AIMS project when he was given an eviction notice from a young person’s hostel. Peter suffered with poor mental health due to the loss of his mother at a young age and was using cannabis and legal highs as a coping mechanism. His AIMS mentor mediated between Peter and hostel staff to develop a behavioural contract, so that Peter did not become homeless again.

Pete, 17 was referred to the Nightstop service following a realationship breakdown with his mum and dad. This had a big impact on him as he stopped his apprenticeship as he was doing working in his dad’s business to do this. The Nightstop team mediated between Pete and his parents and he was able to rebuild his relationship with them, return to work. Pete now lives with his girlfriend and has now completed his apprenticeship in Heating and Plumbing.
