Chat Health
ChatHealth - a new text messaging service for young people in Knowsley
The School Nursing Service (part of the 0-25 Service in Knowsley) has launched ChatHealth, a confidential text messaging service for young people in Knowsley.
Young people, aged 11-19, can access confidential advice, information, and support from school nurses via text - 07312 263254, on a range of health and wellbeing issues including:
Anxiety Bullying
Exam stress Exercise
Feelings and emotions Friendships
Healthy eating and lifestyle Mental wellbeing
Nutrition and diet Puberty
Relationships Self-harm
Sexual health and wellbeing Sleeping
Stress Wellbeing
ChatHealth does not replace face-to-face services, but it does make it easier for a young person to get in touch with a school nurse confidentially and anonymously. It also offers a way to get in touch for those who feel reluctant to talk about difficult or sensitive issues.
How ChatHealth works
ChatHealth is available between 9.00am and 5.00pm Monday to Friday (including school holidays and excluding bank holidays) and accessed by texting
07312 263254.
The school nursing team aims to reply to each message within one working day and individuals should get an immediate bounce-back to confirm their text has been received.
Anyone sending a text outside of these hours will receive an automated message with advice on where to get help if they require it urgently. When the service reopens, the sender will then receive a reply to the message.
ChatHealth is confidential, anonymous, and non-judgemental*.
For more information about ChatHealth visit www.wchc.nhs.uk/chathealth
* Unless a young person gives permission, the team will not pass on any information shared - except in extreme circumstances e.g., the health, safety, or welfare of the individual or someone else who is at significant risk
