Services for young people in Derbyshire

The following centres provide a range of services for young people between 12 and 25 years.


They will give you information and support on health issues such as sexual health, teenage pregnancy, drugs, and general health, and may also provide information about benefits, education, leisure, bus times, housing, careers and relationships. They may be able to provide free contraception (or advice on where to obtain it), pregnancy testing and counselling services.


Their services are FREE and CONFIDENTIAL. This means your visit will not be discussed with anyone (including your GP or family) without your permission, unless the centre staff have reason to believe that you or others are in serious danger.


Please note that times listed are subject to change, so it's best to ring first to check opening hours and what's on offer (some will only offer certain services at certain times).
