Information from Barnado's for our families:

'Hi All,

I’m getting in touch to share information and resources about Chat Autism & ADHD, our confidential messaging service for young people under 18 and their parents and carers living in Tameside.

People in Tameside can now text 07507 329954 or start a chat at www.chathealth.nhs.uk to reach Chat Autism & ADHD for confidential, anonymous help and advice on Autism & ADHD for young people aged under 18. Young people can get in touch themselves, or parents and carers can contact us about a child/young person. The service is available 9am-4.30pm Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays and 3 service development days per year). When a message is sent, an automated reply confirms it has been received and a member of the GMKW team will respond within 48 hours.

This Chat Autism & ADHD messaging service is delivered by Barnardo’s Greater Manchester Keyworker Service and powered by ChatHealth, an award-winning healthcare messaging platform developed by Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust. ChatHealth is used widely by NHS Trusts and healthcare organisations across the country and has supported hundreds of thousands of people to get advice from local health teams and partners.

To support awareness across the community and wider system partners, we’ve attached a set of promotional materials that you are welcome to circulate and display internally, in person-facing areas and across social media. If you have any questions, would like additional materials, or any further information, please contact us on GMKWpositivepathways@barnardos.org.uk .'
