ChatHealth is a secure and confidential text messaging service offered by the Staffordshire 0-19 Families Health and Wellbeing Service (FHWS) for parents and young people aged 11-19 years (Year 7 and above). It allows individuals to easily and anonymously get in touch with a local school nurse or health visitor for advice and support.
ChatHealth can be used to provide advice quickly (within one working day) on an array of issues such as: stress and anxiety, emotional health and wellbeing, general health queries, behaviour, bullying, alcohol and drugs, sex, contraception and relationships.
Individuals can contact ChatHealth when they might want to avoid a face-to-face appointment in the first instance.
