Story

Here at the Junction, we are working to promote long-term prevention of health problems, to raise young people’s awareness and self-esteem and to enable them to make informed choices about their health and well-being. The aim is to help them help themselves which if successful will ultimately have a positive effect on the community as a whole.

Mission

The Junction’s objectives:

To offer a safe, confidential, friendly space where information and support on health and wellbeing will be delivered within a responsive, holistic environment;

To promote an approach that honours the diversity of young people and supports them in making informed choices;

To provide premises, staff and opening times which reflect young people's desire for an accessible and confidential service;

To develop a process which ensures young people's involvement in the development of the centre;

To contribute to the body of knowledge relating to young people and their health needs by undertaking relevant research, evaluation and offering related training packages;

To develop partnership working between local groups, voluntary and statutory agencies.
