It is very important that children, young people and adults can talk openly with each other.
Cool2talk is an interactive website for young people in Tayside. Its aim is to provide health information and raise awareness of local services. It allows young people to submit questions on health issues and receive replies from a professionally qualified health worker.
Relationships with children can change whilst they are growing up to become young adults. Establishing good communications enables young people to feel more comfortable in broaching sensitive issues. This can be difficult to achieve and parents / carers often lack the confidence and access to accurate information to address topics including sex, drugs and relationships.
Cool2talk is keen to ensure that parents/carers can have access to health information through its limited websites and that this will be helpful in assisting communications with children and young people.
