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: My friends are taking drugs and I feel under pressure to take them, but I don�t want to. What can I do? A: It is really up to what you decide. Sometimes it is hard to say no to friends as you may be scared that they will laugh at you or start to leave you out. But it is your decision, for support on how to handle this, come in and talk. This sounds like a really difficult situation you are in. You are more than welcome to discuss your feelings with a Corner worker, and build your confidence in order to do what is right for you.

Q: Do you tell my parents if I want to start contraception such as the pill? A: No we are a confidential service and that means we would not pass on any information unless we thought there was a real concern.

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 am getting bullied at school and can�t speak to my teachers, I can�t take it anymore. Can I talk to you? A: Yes, you can come down to the Corner drop-in to discuss this anytime during opening hours. A worker will speak to you on your own, or even speak to teachers on your behalf.

Q: How soon can I have a pregnancy test done if I have had unprotected sex? A: Three weeks after unprotected sex.
