Young People's Health Drop-in and Text Service

Worried about your health? You can get information and advice from a health support and advice service especially for young people.

There’s no need to book an appointment and you don’t have to be a club member or go to a particular school. You can just turn up to a drop-in or text the helpline for confidential* advice on:

• relationships
• stress
• healthy eating
• smoking
• drugs and alcohol
• contraception (you can get free condoms and pregnancy testing).

Young People's Health text helpline

You don't have to go to health drop-in sessions to get advice, just send a text to get the same information and advice from your local school health nurse.

• Banbury: 07760 990582 (9am to 5pm, Mon-Fri)
• Oxford: 07760 990584 (9am to 5pm, Mon-Fri)

Young People's Health drop-ins 

There are also young people's health drop-ins:

• Banbury Early Intervention Hub (New Futures Centre) Thu 4-5.30pm
• Oxford Union Street Early Intervention Hub (time and dates to be arranged)

Confidential and safe

* Remember, whatever you talk about with your school health nurses is confidential, so your health worries stay private. Information you give to the nurse will not be passed on to anyone else unless the nurse feels that you or other people may be at risk. If this does happen the nurse will discuss this with you first.
