useful sites
We've put in lots of links to organisations providing specific help, but there are some organisations out there who can provide help and information about a range of issues. Here are some of them:-
TheSite
Povides factsheets and articles on all the key issues facing young people including: sex and relationships; drinking and drugs; work and study; housing, legal and finances; and health and wellbeing.
Get Connected
Get Connected is a free, UK wide, email and telephone helpline that finds young people the best help whatever the problem.
The helpline workers listen to what you need to sort out, explain the options you have, and then make suggestions of services where you can get the best help. Get Connected has access to information on thousands of services, both locally and nationally.
If you have contacted Get Connected by phone, the helpline worker can then provide a free connection to the service you have chosen, or can text important information to your mobile.

Have some really very useful factsheets if you or someone you know is having a hard time holding on, wants to find out about the antidepressants they're taking or needs to know more about whats affecting them.
