Sometimes talking about health issues is embarrassing and not really the type of thing you want to discuss with someone else, especially when you’re not really sure what the problem is. Connexions Personal Advisers can tell you where you can get the right advice from, whatever your concern.
This section provides a range of information including how to find your local doctor and sexual health clinic, tips on healthy eating and living a healthier life, how to cope with worry and stress, and factual information on drink and drugs.
If you have any questions or worries on any of these issues, or you just want to find out a bit more detail, the useful website links in this section will allow you to search for organisations in your local area who can help.
If you’re a young person with learning disabilities, the 4US website has widget publications to download and the Trans-active website goes through a transition interview with a Connexions PA.
The Children First for Health website is a national award-winning health information resource run by Great Ormond Street Hospital. It provides clinically approved health advice to young people of all ages and families. Content ranges from cartoons and BBC-produced video diaries, to in-depth features and condition fact sheets.
ContactPoint will be the quick way to find out who else is working with the same child or young person, making it easier to deliver more coordinated support.
This basic online directory will be available to authorised staff who need it to do their jobs. It is a key part of the Every Child Matters programme and the Children’s Plan, to improve the health, well-being and safety of all children. If practitioners working with a child know about each other they can find the right support quickly, before problems get more serious.
