I am interested in number 1 and 3 (young people)
I am currently working with CAMHS as a young persons drugs worker, but in the past I have worked and undertaken a piece of action research (prior to hidden harm) specifically developing therapeutic services for children of drug users.
I don't work as a social worker, but I am a qualified social worker and have worked as a drugs social worker 15+ years ago.
