Life Limiting Behaviour Intervention and Support Programme
Life Limiting Behaviour Intervention and Support Programme
The main aim of this pilot was to establish a collaborative network of local projects involved in the advancement of health and saving lives through a range of preventative and specialist programmes around children and young people engaging in life limiting behaviours.
Through the pandemic, we saw evidence and the impact of increased substance misuse exposure on young people in Harrow. This funding was in a prime position to improve young people’s lives and give them the tools to protect themselves and educate them and their families.
The focus of the programme was on drinking, smoking and drug taking, although the funding recognised that other behaviours are linked to addictions, including anti-social behaviours and crime, missing school, disengaging in family life, and young motherhood, among other issues.
1,147 children and young people were supported in total
The grants were awarded to three local charities in July 2022 (Mind in Harrow and My Yard) and October 2022 (Watford FC Community Trust).
