Parents, this page is for you. We want to reassure you about the aims of our clinic.

Our clinic is a teenagers health drop-in, somewhere they can come and discuss any worries, whatever they are. This can be about bullying, diet, smoking, alcohol or trouble at home. Sometimes they may be seeking contraception, even if they are just considering having sex. Or some are worried that all their friends are doing it and they are missing something. They may want someone impartial to talk to and sometimes this needs to be an outsider.

We know it is difficult to engage with teenagers and to discuss issues like sex and contraception.

We always act in their best interests.
