About our service

Information for young people

Abuse 

Abuse can happen to anyone and it is never your fault. It can include bullying, neglect, put downs, name calling, controlling what you do, rape, sharing intimate images of you and many more things. Whether you are sure that you are being abused, or not sure, you can talk to someone at 18u about it.

How to join our forum

In addition to face to face phone and text support 18U offers support via our online forum. Anyone using the forum can connect with other young people and support staff in private messages and chat rooms. There's also different topics for wider discussion. Check it out by clicking below :) 

Confidentiality

Confidentiality is close to our hearts at 18U. If you need to speak to someone in privacy without worrying about your information being shared with someone else 18U may be able to help. 
​We believe that young people should receive the highest level of confidentiality.

Useful links

There may be times when you need more information or
a different service from what 18U offer. You may need legal or medical advice, information about human right, help with housing and so on. 
We've put together a collection of links which we hope you will find helpful.
