NHFT launches new text messaging service for young people across Northamptonshire
Young people aged 13 – 24 years old across Northamptonshire will now be able to speak a member of NHFT’s Sexual Health team by text to receive free advice and support.
Using Chat Health, young people can text the service on 07312 263114 for a confidential chat about your sexual health.
The service is available between 9am and 5pm Monday-Thursday and 9am-2pm Friday (bank holidays are excluded). If you need help before you hear back from the service - contact your GP, nearest walk in centre or dial 111.
ChatHealth is a secure NHS-developed text messaging service that is used by school nurses, health visitors, mental health teams, and sexual health services across the country in NHFT.
The team can help with free testing, advice and contraception, to help you practice safer sex to protect yourself and others.
