‘Totally You’ offers a drop-in youth advice service which is staffed by a Youth Worker, Youth Health Advice Nurse and Assistant Psychologist who are available for confidential advice and information on a range of issues including smoking, diet, BMI testing, sexual health, relationship support, mental health promotion and general healthy living. The service operates in a youth centre with lots of activities on offer such as pool competitions, internet access, a coffee bar and a social area to relax and chill out in. The service is confidential and as it operates as a ‘drop-in’ you do not require an appointment to access the service. All young people are being encouraged to to along for a coffee on a Monday afternoon between 3-5pm and check out how the service works.
