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: 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: What happens when I come into The Corner? A: There will be a member of staff at the desk to welcome you when you first come in. You will be handed a tick sheet which lists all of our services and you will be asked to tick which service that you need. We ask you to tick the sheet when you come in so that you don't have to say out loud what service you need in front of other people. If you are unsure just tell the member of staff and they can have a chat with you to find out what you need. Once you have ticked the sheet we ask you to take a seat (you can choose where you sit) and the staff will keep you updated with how long it will take for you to be seen. (This can depend on the service that you are for and how busy we are).

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.

Q: How soon after unprotected sex can I have an STI test? A: Two weeks after unprotected sex.
