Young People

Working closely with Terrence Higgins Trust, Brook and Healthy Living Partnership we offer a range of sexual health services at our clinics and a number of retail pharmacies across Essex.

Thurrock First is the first point of contact for a number of health needs. All you need to do is call the one number and you will be directed to the most appropriate service.

Young Minds is leading the fight for a future where all young minds are supported and empowered, whatever their challenges.

The Mix is the UK’s leading support service for young people. There to help young people take on any challenge they are facing – from mental health to money problems, from homelessness to finding a job, from break-ups to drugs. Talk to them online or by using their free, confidential helpline.

Want someone to understand or advice to help a friend? Kooth offers free, safe and anonymous online support for young people.

Like adults, young people (aged 16 or 17) are presumed to have sufficient capacity to decide on their own medical treatment, unless there's significant evidence to suggest otherwise.

Whether you’re moving to secondary school, jumping into the world of work, starting a new relationship or just feeling a bit stressed, we’ve asked those who’ve been through it to share their wisdom.
