ChatHealth is an award-winning messaging service for young people and parents to get advice and support about health related issues.

Messages sent to the dedicated number are delivered to a secure website, and responded to by Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust’s School Families Health and Wellbeing Service.

What advice and support can I receive?

Young people messaging the service will be able to receive advice and signposting on a wide array of subjects including bullying, health, drugs, self-esteem, relationships and sexual health.

Who is it for?

Young people aged 11-19 years who live in Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire. 

ChatHealth is also available to parents across Staffordshire to use for guidance and signposting.  Messages will be responded to by Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust's Health Visitors or School Nurses, dependent on the age of your child, as part of Staffordshire’s new Families Health and Wellbeing Service.  The Service can support on health and wellbeing issues including weaning, behaviour, health, developmental concerns and concerns regarding your child’s weight or emotional wellbeing.
