Odyssey Victoria Youth & Family Services provides outreach and centre-based programs and services to young people aged 12 to 24 and their families. Odyssey Victoria is committed to child safety and is a child safe organisation.
The service aims to reduce a young person’s alcohol or other drug use and to minimise harm caused by use. The program also helps participants to manage other problems like mental health, education, family and legal issues.
Participation in the program is voluntary and individuals wanting assistance can self-refer. The program also takes referrals from the criminal justice system through ACSO (Australian Community Support Organisation).
