Q: My friends are taking drugs and I feel under pressure to take them, but I don�t want to. What can I do? A: It is really up to what you decide. Sometimes it is hard to say no to friends as you may be scared that they will laugh at you or start to leave you out. But it is your decision, for support on how to handle this, come in and talk. This sounds like a really difficult situation you are in. You are more than welcome to discuss your feelings with a Corner worker, and build your confidence in order to do what is right for you.

Q: Can my friend be with me when I get the service I'm in for? A: Initially you will be seen on your own as you may be asked personal questions. After this you can discuss with staff having a friend with you.

Q: Can I get pregnant on my period? A: Although this is unlikely there is still a chance of getting pregnant so it is important to use a form of contraception such as condoms.

Q: If I tell you I self harm will you try to put me in hospital? A: We will not put you in hospital; however we will work with other services to make sure you get the best care possible. Self harm is a way of coping with troubles, not the most positive or constructive, but we would never force you to do anything.

Q: I have no money for food and I don�t get my benefits for another week. Can you help me? A: You can come in and discuss your situation with a worker. They will explore your options and support you to access services that can help you.

Q: I have been kicked out of my home and I don�t know where to get help. A: If you can come along to the Corner Drop-In, you will be able to discuss your situation with a worker who can support you to access temporary accommodation then support services. We can also talk to the housing support services on your behalf, and most important is to make sure you are safe.
