Want advice about a health issue without having to ask face to face?

Did you know if you’re aged 11 year and until your 19th birthday and living in Bradford, you can access a confidential, secure text messaging service which enables you to get professional health advice and support.

What does this mean?

You can get confidential health advice and support on a range of areas including:

  • General health concerns
  • Sleep
  • Exam stress
  • Self harm
  • Low mood
  • Sexual health
  • Anxiety
  • How you feel about how you look

Plus many more including; hydration and diet, vaping, friendships, relationships, alcohol, exercise, managing anger management and body development.

But I can just google my concern or use an AI tool

Using AI tools may not always the best source for advice because they can sometimes give false information that might be biased or inconsistent based on it’s training data. These platforms can often prioritise sounding plausible over being accurate and evidence based, making it risky when seeking health advice or support or seeking decisions.
Browsing is also often not the best source for health advice because it prioritizes search engine optimization (SEO) and popularity over medical accuracy, which can result in sensationalised or inaccurate information. Search results can trigger anxiety- particularly if they offer incorrect diagnoses that delay necessary professional care, and lack context.
