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.

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: Can I get pregnant even if I haven�t started my period yet? A: Yes there is a chance of pregnancy so it is important to use protection if you are planning to or are having sex.

Q: Do you tell my parents if I want to start contraception such as the pill? A: No we are a confidential service and that means we would not pass on any information unless we thought there was a real concern.

Q: Can you get the morning after pill or contraception for someone else, such as a girlfriend or friend? A: No. It is important that staff speak to the person that requires the service to ensure they receive what they need and so that it can done safely.

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.
