Youth health services in Christchurch

The 298 Youth Health Centre is now open on 298 Barbadoes Street, Christchurch. The new centre provides free sexual and mental health and GP services for young people up to the age of 25 in Christchurch.

Dr Sue Bagshaw is the head of the clinic. Three doctors and three nurses will help provide comprehensive physical and mental health services.

The centre is in one of 11 buildings forming the Youth Hub Barbadoes - a collaboration between Christchurch youth organisations.

The 298 Youth Health Centre replaces the 198 Youth Health Centre which closed in April 2010 because of a lack of funding.
