This section is all about your health – staying healthy and where you can get help if you’ve got a health problem. There are some things that you can do for yourself like
- having a healthy diet
- taking some exercise
- staying off things that could affect your health like alcohol, drugs and smoking.
But you may have some health issues that are affecting the quality of your life and want some more information. Connexions can give you help and advice about keeping healthy and your Personal Adviser can also put you in touch with more specialist services should you need it. So whether you are concerned with diet, drugs, sex - or any other health-related issues, we can help you.
In this section you’ll find some information on specific health topics and some useful websites if you prefer to do your own research before you talk to someone.
If you need to find and register with a new doctor or find other health services try this NHS link.
The NHSDirect has a self help section to help you work out if you've got a medical condition that requires treatment.
You could visit Teenage Health Freak or Need2Know for further help.
Visit Youth Voice: Peer Power to ask questions, have your say, share ideas on almost any subject.
You can use the library in your Connexions Centre too as it has information for you to read or take away.
