Gloucestershire Care Services - Chat Health
ChatHealth is a texting service offered by the School Nursing team. This is a confidential way that 11-19yr olds can have a text conversation with one of the school nurses about any health issue, worry or concern they may have. As well as giving advice, the school nursing can signpost to appropriate services and other support.
Messages sent to the dedicated number (07507 333351) are delivered to a secure website, and a school nurse will respond to you. The service is available Monday to Friday from 9am to 4.30pm, excluding bank holidays.
