About Us

Chat Health is a text messaging service, so that both young people and parents and carers living in Derby city can get confidential health advice and support.

The text messaging service is powered by the ChatHealth system, used by several NHS trusts across the country.

Texts are usually replied to within one working day.

The team, which is made up of qualified school nurses and health visitors, is able to advise and support young people on issues including:

Sexual health

Relationships

Emotional health

Drug and alcohol use

Physical health.

Young people can remain anonymous if they wish, and don’t have to give their name.

The team is able to advise and support parents and carers on issues including:

Bedwetting, soiling or toileting

Concerns about hearing or vision

Feeding problems

Weaning

Emotional wellbeing

Behaviour

Speech concerns.

Again, parents and carers can remain anonymous if they wish.

Many people find text messaging not only quick and easy but also less embarrassing or judgemental than an initial phone call or face-to-face appointment.

Reach Youth

T: 01332 332 044

E: office@emcf.net

About Us

Reach’s vision is simple: we want to be Disciples who Go, Plant and Build God’s church and Kingdom throughout Derby, the UK and the World. We share in that vision as young people too. We’re looking to raise up youth that are wanting to Go, and that know what to Plant and are able to Build when they get there – wherever “there” may be!

In order to see our vision become a reality, we run quite a varied programme. We balance our time between focusing upwards on God, focusing inwards on each other, and focusing outwards towards our friends and the world we live in. We spend time being all gathered together for things like our residential and youth nights, as well as a monthly worship night called Awakening.
