Norfolk School Nursing Service

ChatHealth: a confidential text service for young people in Norfolk

Do you need confidential advice and support from a School Nurse? Then contact our text messaging service for 13-19 year olds on 07480 635060.

ChatHealth is an easy way for young people to confidentially seek help about a range of issues, make an appointment with a school nurse, or find out how to access other local services including emotional support or sexual health services.

Messages sent to the dedicated number are delivered to a secure website, and responded to by a school nurse. Out of hours, anyone who texts the service will receive a bounce back message explaining where to get help if their question is urgent, and when they can expect a response. Texts are usually replied to within one working day.
