"The Matthew Project and all of the workers there have helped me over the years so much and i wouldn't have been able to cope with certain situations without their support. I have always felt comfortable and listened to."
"They listen and give you good feedback and don't try to pretend that things are ok but actually have a human conversation and you feel like you're actually being listened to."
"I feel like i understand how it affects me. She made me realise how well I can cope with it and if needed I can message her. Now I feel comfortable with talking to my dad about his alcohol abuse knowing my worker has comforted me with it and given me advice on how to deal with the affect it has on me."

![In November, we launched three new specialist training sessions for professionals working with children, young people, and families across Norfolk, and they’ve been a huge success! ✨
We were joined by professionals from a wide range of organisations, all keen to build their confidence and skills in supporting young people around substance use.
We’ve been blown away by the lovely feedback we’ve received so far, and we’re so glad these sessions are making a difference.
👉 If you’re a professional and would like to book onto a session, please click on the link in our BIO.
[Image description - The photos show two quotes from professionals. Here are the quotes: 1) The course has given me the knowledge, and real feedback from young people about how they see these issues has been very useful in supporting others who are now trying to tackle their substance use. 2) I have better understanding of how conversations particularly early on can support a young person to make beneficial changes.]](https://scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/600103063_18522459247070800_3149503081978585379_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=110&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0FST1VTRUxfSVRFTS5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=HBLU4uzI-GEQ7kNvwEPAnbn&_nc_oc=AdnJFHLb3fwZZyJ1UCAD8k2FlwlhqJX6zttAVcNXfF5VS5UkZhfFQll1gWAXcioIs3Y&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=ahkMeTLTEuEa0ARgxm1fww&oh=00_Afkf9lvSA2ZRV11-lwLRtHrW6qTjj_VmSHAIsG4Vz_5-8w&oe=695B55B5)
![✨ Our King’s Lynn & West Norfolk SPACE group recently enjoyed a Historic Tour of King’s Lynn. The guided walk took us through 1,000 years of history, uncovering the town’s journey from a small settlement to a thriving port and elegant town.
A big thank you to King’s Lynn Town Guides for such an engaging and informative experience!
You can find out more about our support for young people on our website (link in our BIO).
