A new Text-a-Nurse service has been launched to provide young people with a secure and confidential text messaging service to a school nurse for advice and support.
The service is aimed at 11 to 19 year olds and will be delivered by the School Nursing Teams. Young people can seek advice about health issues without a face to face appointment on a range of issues including emotional health and wellbeing, sexual health, and drugs and alcohol.
The initiative is one of a range of resources to support the implementation of the Framework for Children and Young People’s Emotional Health and Wellbeing in Education.
The local number for the Western Trust Text –A-Nurse is 07480 635984”
