School Based Youth Health Nurse works with young people, school staff and parents to:
promote health and wellbeing
create a supportive, healthy school environment
connect people with other support services.
The Youth Health Nurse can provide health and wellbeing information about:
healthy eating and physical activity
feeling unhappy or stressed
relationships
healthy skin
personal and family problems
growth and development
sexual health
smoking, alcohol and other drugs.
In most cases, it is best for young people to talk to their parents or carers about health and wellbeing issues.
The Youth Health Nurse can support young people to do this.
