About PINS
PINS is a Voluntary organisation working in Hartlepool to support families who are affected by their childs Drug/Alcohol misuse.

Located just off Stranton Green the organisation was established in 1996 to offer a wide range of services including practical and emotional support, advice, information and training. We have 3 full time staff and a team of volunteers, many of whom are parents themselves who have been affected by their son or daughters addiction and gone on to train as support workers to help others in a similar situation. See more on our testimonials page dedicated to clients and workers.

Our service is totally confidential and we can arrange to meet in a person’s home or a venue of their choosing where they can feel relaxed and comfortable.

Many parents just simply call into our office, where we can provide a pleasant informal environment so they can chat openly to a support worker or pick up some information regarding drug or alcohol issues from our intensive library of books, DVD’s, CD’s leaflets etc.

Clients can loan these items if so desired but they can also sit and read or view the DVD’s whilst enjoying a cup of coffee, experiencing “Quality Time” time for themselves away from what is likely to be quite a chaotic environment.

We provide a wide range of services (services we offer) but the majority of our work is providing one to one support, a shoulder to cry on, someone whom you can talk to openly without any feeling of discrimination.

We understand parent’s anxieties and make no judgements, our aim is to help family members to cope with their situation and in turn to help and support their son/daughter, actively encouraging parents to become part of their recovery program.

We do not have a magic wand here, but we can provide help and advice so you can develop the skills required to help you cope.
