Door43 – Emotional, mental and sexual health support

Are you aged 13-25?
Worried about your emotional or mental health?

You might not realise it, but emotional and mental health issues are quite common and you're not on your own – we're here to support you. Sometimes you just need space to think, and that's cool, we all do. You can do that at Door43.

If you call in to Sheffield Futures, Star House, 43 Division Street, Sheffield, we will do our best to help and support you, or we will point you in the right direction to get help elsewhere.

Sometimes things happen and it's too embarrassing to speak to a parent, carer or teacher, but we know everyone needs a little help from somewhere. We can support you in all sorts of situations, so please get in touch and speak to one of our specially trained professionals who are ready to help out and they will not judge you or be shocked by anything you tell them.

At Door43, lots of different people work together to make sure that we always have someone to hand who can help – including youth workers, counsellors, substance misuse workers, sexual health workers, careers advisors, volunteers, peers supporters and more!

For more information please call us on 0114 201 2800 or drop in to Star House during our opening hours.
