Teenage Text help for the morning after

North Tyneside Primary Care Trust in the UK is running a one-year pilot project under which girls will be able to call or text a number 24-hours a day and will then be given advice and counselling by health experts, reports the BBC.

"The Trust said it was using mobile phones to reach those who might not feel comfortable calling from home or visiting a doctors' surgery straightaway. Once a girl contacts the number, she will be invited quickly to go for an appointment with a doctor or someone from the sexual health service.
