Additional Information
The Text-A-Nurse service can provide direct, secure and confidential advice and support to 11 to 19 year olds.
The service is aimed at 11 to 19 year olds and will be delivered by the School Nursing Teams.
This scheme allows young people to seek advice about sensitive health issues without a face to face appointment. School nurses will provide help on a range of issues including, emotional health and wellbeing, alcohol and drugs, sexual health, bullying and general health issues.
We hope through this non-judgemental, confidential text service young people will be empowered to ask those questions that they otherwise wouldn’t have the confidence to ask.
A qualified school nurse will respond to the young people’s messages using the secure ChatHealth web platform. ChatHealth is an award winning service in the UK and is the first of its kind in Northern Ireland and will transform the way young people communicate with health professionals.
