The programme works with adults aged 18 years and over.  Young people may be referred on to the Young Person's Specialist Prevention Service (SPS) for initial assessment if appropriate.

It offers structured psychological and social support to those who have completed treatment in community and/or residential based services and for those who have completed treatment in and left prison and are returning to the community.
