Health for Teens is an award winning website created by the NHS specifically to provide trusted health advice for 11-19s and to empower young people to learn about and take ownership of their overall health and wellbeing.
The Health for Teens website was developed to run alongside the Chat Health text service to provide teens with trusted NHS advice and a means to connect with their local school nursing service. There is useful information for parents of 11-19s here on the Better Lives Healthy Futures website, but please direct your young people to Health for Teens for information written specifically for them and to Chat Health to text one of our school nursing team at any time for a reply within office hours.
Health for Teens website content includes sections on feelings, growing up, health, lifestyle, relationships and sexual health presented in a format teens can relate to – buzz feed style articles, videos, quizzes, social media and addressing rumours about health which have been specifically targeted at teens.
Our Trust has developed a Health for Teens Bradford page to give local information and there are also links to national services and other trusted websites.
