HELP is at hand every day for Lancashire young people who need advice or a listening ear, says Lancashire County Council.
Talkzone is staffed by experienced, caring workers from 2pm to 10pm daily and offers support for 12 to 19-year-olds by phone, email, text, Facebook, Twitter and webtalk. It is also available up to the age of 25 for people with special educational needs or a disability.
Problems at home, anxiety, homelessness, finding a job and bereavement are just some of the problems people have sought help with.
