Young people are under ever increasing pressure in our competitive world and many are growing up without the support they need or people they can reply on. Life for our young people is challenging in an ever changing world. That's where DAPL can help in the delivery of counselling services within Fife schools.
If struggles continue for a long period of time people can rely on drugs or alcohol to assist them to get through the day. DAPL can help you make sense of the struggles and support you through these challenges to a life without substances.We deliver services Fife wide within a location as close to you as possible.

DAPL has been such a brilliant support to me. I have improved more than I could ever have imagined when I was in some really dark places mentally. I am pleased to say that I no longer take any drugs and this has been the case for a while now.
Since I started using DAPL they couldn’t have been more helpful. I have never been turned away from DAPL and have always been helped by the staff there. The work they do for me and the community is above and beyond. Please continue the exceptional work you do. You make a huge difference. If you weren’t here it would leave a very big problem for so many people in so many ways. Thank you.
I didn’t think I would ever get over my problem with drugs. I kept trying loads of different things but nothing helped that much. I then got an appointment with DAPL and my counsellor was top class. My life has changed loads and I am holding down a job which is good as I hadn’t worked for a long while.
The DAPL project was established in response to the growing drugs and alcohol problem in the Levenmouth community.
We now serve the entire Fife region from our permanent offices in Leven and Kirkcaldy as well as hubs in community facilities and schools across the kingdom of Fife.
