Q: I think I need to talk to someone but I don�t know what about. Can I still come in to talk? A: Yes you can, every young person is welcome at the Corner, even if they are unsure what they want to discuss. Come in and you can have a chat. One of the things we do is help you to get your priorities in order.

Q: Can I get pregnant on my period? A: Although this is unlikely there is still a chance of getting pregnant so it is important to use a form of contraception such as condoms.

Q: How long will I have to wait to be seen? A: It depends on the service you are in for, and how busy we are. We will always try to get you seen as quickly as possible. Staff will keep you informed on waiting times as much as they can.

Q: I have no money for food and I don�t get my benefits for another week. Can you help me? A: You can come in and discuss your situation with a worker. They will explore your options and support you to access services that can help you.

Q: If I tell you I self harm will you try to put me in hospital? A: We will not put you in hospital; however we will work with other services to make sure you get the best care possible. Self harm is a way of coping with troubles, not the most positive or constructive, but we would never force you to do anything.

Q: I don't have any symptoms of an STI, should I still get tested? A: Yes, symptoms of STIs can be silent so even if you have no signs it is important to get checked out just to make sure.
