Teen Clinic is a free service that provides local teenagers with the opportunity to talk to a nurse about a range of issues in a non-judgmental environment. The nurse is there to help advise a young person on both medical and non-medical issues allowing them to make educated, healthy choices. There is also a mental health nurse onsite every alternate Thursday (every "even" week during school term). Parents can also accompany their child to the clinic as well as groups of friends who arrive together supporting each other.
