Helpline 'Street Talk' set to offer support for young people in the North East
A helpline is to launch offering mental health support to young people in the North East.
'Street Talk' has been set up by Oscar Slacke from Jesmond. The 21-year-old took a counselling course during the first lockdown last year.
Since then the helpline has grown, with more than 100 specially trained volunteers on hand to offer help and advice.
