This evaluation sought to establish the feasibility of delivering PuP to families with substance use across different contexts. By delivering PuP directly into the home or other community service, Coolmine sought to optimise support for children and parents affected by problematic alcohol and drug use, providing accessible, tailored intervention that addresses the specific needs and challenges families face in their own environments.

 

The redeployment and strategic delivery of PuP services demonstrated adaptability, responsiveness to complex family needs, and a strong interagency collaboration model. The flexible design and breadth of collaboration with support services contributed to a comprehensive and parent-centred intervention, aligning with best practices in addiction and family support services.
