Text Project

The Text Project is a confidential service available to young people. We realised that being able to access information, advice and support via text would be helpful for young people, particularly those living in such a rural area.

Set up as a direct response to the increasing use of text messages as means of communication for young people. The project was re-established in January 2006 and since then hundreds of young people have used the service.

Young people have sought information and advice on a wide range of issues including self-harm, bullying and relationships. Over 200 texts were received last year.

We have also been able to work with individual young people who have been referred by schools or followed up through the text project. Often this one-to-one work has been around self-esteem and confidence building.
