Find Help: Health For Teens

Those first steps to seeking help are tough but you’re in the right place. There are two main routes available to you – we can show you specialist services available in your area or we can put you in touch with your school nurse.

School Nurse's

If you’re aged 11 – 19 and are worried about your health and wellbeing our School Nurses are here to help you with a wide range of issues such as Emotional health, Relationships, Self-harm, Bullying, Alcohol, Healthy eating, Drugs and Smoking and more.

If you’d like to talk to your own school nurse, use the drop down menu below to find out which team of school nurses cover your school. It will show you all their contact details.

When you are first referred to CAMHS, the team will offer you an assessment where you get the chance to discuss what things are bothering you and how CAMHS might be able to help. There will then be a discussion with you, and your parents if you want them to be involved, and with the team, to see how CAMHS may be able to help you. It may be that CAMHS then offer you some further appointments to work through some of the difficulties you might be having. Or, It may be that a different service would be better suited to helping you – if this is the case, CAMHS will provide you with this information and make any other referrals with your agreement.

Children and Young People’s Autism Service

Do you have Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)? Do you have an amazing autism brain?

We are the specialist Autism service for South Staffordshire. We are here to assess and offer support to you and your family. If you are aged between 0-19 years old (up to 25 if you have an EHCP) and have a diagnosis or a working diagnosis of ASC, then you and your family can access help and support through us. You can find out more about us from our website or you can ask your parents to call our duty line on 0300 303 0691 (9-5; Mon-Fri) and we can try to help you with any problems and difficulties you might have related to your autism.Having autism means that your brain works a bit differently to most other people. Every person with ASC is different but some things people with ASC may find difficult are social communication (knowing what to talk about; understanding others; making sense of facial expression and tone of voice); social interaction (knowing how close to stand to someone; knowing when to talk; understanding jokes; making friends) and social prediction / rigidity of thought (needing routines; not liking changes; not knowing what will happen next). There are also some people with Autism who have sensory differences (not liking loud noises or bright lights; only wearing certain clothes; not being able to sit still). We have helped lots of young people with these things.

How does it work?

Young people can come to us for help and support with lots of different things, like anxiety or worries; low mood; anger; behaviour that can cause them difficulties with others; sleep; speech, language and communication difficulties; low self esteem (not feeling good about themselves) or just to understand their autism a little better. We can support parents over the phone with advice calls or you can come to one of our workshops to help understand what your autism means for you.
We also make sure that we look at the strengths that having an autism brain can give you! Having ASC can make some things harder but it can also make some things easier, like knowing lots about a special topic or having a really good memory! Don’t worry if you don’t like groups, you don’t have to talk if you don’t want to, but it can sometimes be nice to meet other people who understand what it is like to be you. For some people, we may offer 1-2-1 sessions with a clinician if this is needed.
We have lots of different people who work within our service such as Clinical and Counselling Psychologists, Assistant Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists and Nurses. This means that we can help you with a lot of different things! We are all really friendly and would like to hear from you if there is anything you would like some help or support with. Remember: there is no such thing as a ‘silly’ worry or question so get in touch. We are here for you and look forward to hearing from you!

Cognitive behavioural therapy is a talking treatment where a person learns to challenge and change unhelpful thoughts, feelings and beliefs that are affecting their daily lives. Our team offers six to eight sessions to support young people aged from year one to year thirteen.
Sometimes we can work with parents to help their children with worry and low mood.
We also work with mental health leads in schools to promote positive mental health. This is called a whole school approach.
The team consists of eight educational mental health practitioners and four primary mental health workers, admin staff and a team leader.
If you require further information speak to your teacher or check out our twitter and Facebook pages.

Children and Young People’s Autism Service

Do you have Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)? Do you have an amazing autism brain?

We are the specialist Autism service for South Staffordshire. We are here to assess and offer support to you and your family. If you are aged between 0-19 years old (up to 25 if you have an EHCP) and have a diagnosis or a working diagnosis of ASC, then you and your family can access help and support through us. You can find out more about us from our website or you can ask your parents to call our duty line on 0300 303 0691 (9-5; Mon-Fri) and we can try to help you with any problems and difficulties you might have related to your autism.Having autism means that your brain works a bit differently to most other people. Every person with ASC is different but some things people with ASC may find difficult are social communication (knowing what to talk about; understanding others; making sense of facial expression and tone of voice); social interaction (knowing how close to stand to someone; knowing when to talk; understanding jokes; making friends) and social prediction / rigidity of thought (needing routines; not liking changes; not knowing what will happen next). There are also some people with Autism who have sensory differences (not liking loud noises or bright lights; only wearing certain clothes; not being able to sit still). We have helped lots of young people with these things.

How does it work?

Young people can come to us for help and support with lots of different things, like anxiety or worries; low mood; anger; behaviour that can cause them difficulties with others; sleep; speech, language and communication difficulties; low self esteem (not feeling good about themselves) or just to understand their autism a little better. We can support parents over the phone with advice calls or you can come to one of our workshops to help understand what your autism means for you.
We also make sure that we look at the strengths that having an autism brain can give you! Having ASC can make some things harder but it can also make some things easier, like knowing lots about a special topic or having a really good memory! Don’t worry if you don’t like groups, you don’t have to talk if you don’t want to, but it can sometimes be nice to meet other people who understand what it is like to be you. For some people, we may offer 1-2-1 sessions with a clinician if this is needed.
We have lots of different people who work within our service such as Clinical and Counselling Psychologists, Assistant Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists and Nurses. This means that we can help you with a lot of different things! We are all really friendly and would like to hear from you if there is anything you would like some help or support with. Remember: there is no such thing as a ‘silly’ worry or question so get in touch. We are here for you and look forward to hearing from you!

CAMHS in South Staffordshire

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services are often known as CAMHS.

When you are first referred to CAMHS, the team will offer you an assessment where you get the chance to discuss what things are bothering you and how CAMHS might be able to help. There will then be a discussion with you, and your parents if you want them to be involved, and with the team, to see how CAMHS may be able to help you. It may be that CAMHS then offer you some further appointments to work through some of the difficulties you might be having. Or, It may be that a different service would be better suited to helping you – if this is the case, CAMHS will provide you with this information and make any other referrals with your agreement.

Children and Young People’s Autism Service

Do you have Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)? Do you have an amazing autism brain?

We are the specialist Autism service for South Staffordshire. We are here to assess and offer support to you and your family. If you are aged between 0-19 years old (up to 25 if you have an EHCP) and have a diagnosis or a working diagnosis of ASC, then you and your family can access help and support through us. You can find out more about us from our website or you can ask your parents to call our duty line on 0300 303 0691 (9-5; Mon-Fri) and we can try to help you with any problems and difficulties you might have related to your autism.Having autism means that your brain works a bit differently to most other people. Every person with ASC is different but some things people with ASC may find difficult are social communication (knowing what to talk about; understanding others; making sense of facial expression and tone of voice); social interaction (knowing how close to stand to someone; knowing when to talk; understanding jokes; making friends) and social prediction / rigidity of thought (needing routines; not liking changes; not knowing what will happen next). There are also some people with Autism who have sensory differences (not liking loud noises or bright lights; only wearing certain clothes; not being able to sit still). We have helped lots of young people with these things.

How does it work?

Young people can come to us for help and support with lots of different things, like anxiety or worries; low mood; anger; behaviour that can cause them difficulties with others; sleep; speech, language and communication difficulties; low self esteem (not feeling good about themselves) or just to understand their autism a little better. We can support parents over the phone with advice calls or you can come to one of our workshops to help understand what your autism means for you.
We also make sure that we look at the strengths that having an autism brain can give you! Having ASC can make some things harder but it can also make some things easier, like knowing lots about a special topic or having a really good memory! Don’t worry if you don’t like groups, you don’t have to talk if you don’t want to, but it can sometimes be nice to meet other people who understand what it is like to be you. For some people, we may offer 1-2-1 sessions with a clinician if this is needed.
We have lots of different people who work within our service such as Clinical and Counselling Psychologists, Assistant Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists and Nurses. This means that we can help you with a lot of different things! We are all really friendly and would like to hear from you if there is anything you would like some help or support with. Remember: there is no such thing as a ‘silly’ worry or question so get in touch. We are here for you and look forward to hearing from you!

Stoke-on-Trent 0-19 Integrated Health Visiting and School Nursing Service

We are your School Nurses based in Stoke on Trent as part of the 0-19 team. There are lots of ways that you can get in touch with us. We have a hub open daily Monday to Friday 9am-5pm. Where you can speak to a member of our team.  Please give us a call on 0808 178 3374. Or if you prefer, you can also text us on our confidential ChatHealth text messaging service: 07520 615 723.

How does it work?

We are Qualified Nurses who have qualifications in Public Health and have additional skills and knowledge in working with young people like yourself.

Working alongside us to support you in keeping you happy healthy and safe are Children, Young People and family Practitioners who are not nurses but have skills and training to support you in many areas of health and health promotion.

We work in your schools and offer you a confidential service like no other service can (if we feel that you are at risk of harm, we may have to speak to other agencies with your consent, in order to protect you though).

You may have seen one of our team in your Year 7 and Year 10 assembly at your school, giving you details of how we can support you and to give you information of when the drop- ins are available at your school. Here, we can offer you confidential advice on sexual health, can register you for C card (condoms) and if needed can offer you Emergency Contraception in a safe and supportive way. Or it may be that you just need to speak to one of our friendly team about an issue that is worrying you, and that’s fine.

Some of you may require additional support with your physical health, or maybe support with your emotional health and wellbeing. We are all well trained in helping you make the best of yourself and find support for you if needed.
We hope that you find what you are looking for here, but if not then please get in touch with us and hopefully we can find a way to help and support you.

Your 0-19 team.

Mental Health Support Team in Schools (MHST)

We are a school based service based on cognitive behavioural interventions for children and young people who have either low mood and or anxiety/worry type symptoms. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a talking treatment where a person learns to challenge and change unhelpful thoughts, feelings and beliefs that are affecting their daily lives. Our team offers six to eight sessions to support young people aged from year one to year thirteen.
Sometimes we can work with parents to help their children with worry and low mood.
We also work with mental health leads in schools to promote positive mental health. This is called a whole school approach.
The team consists of eight educational mental health practitioners and four primary mental health workers, admin staff and a team leader.
If you require further information speak to your teacher or check out our twitter and Facebook pages.
