The Second Story (TSS) is the youth section of Children, Youth and Women's Health Service. TSS is a free, confidential health service for young people aged 12 to 25 years.

TSS see health as more than not being sick, it's about a balanced lifestyle that keeps you feeling OK:

• physical health (things like alcohol, drugs, smoking, nutrition)
• mental health (feeling stressed or down)
• sexual health (checks and information)
• social health (things like relationships with family and friends)
• emotional well-being (your feelings)
• environment (where you live, go to school or work).
