Talk to SAL is a support resource for children, young people + parents and carers. We aim to prevent sexual violence and exploitation by supporting young people in navigating topics such as healthy relationships, social media, gender identity and sexuality, body image and self esteem etc. We also support those who have experienced any type of sexual violence, including sexual bullying or peer pressure. Our parents and carers section provides support and advice for parents or carers of any young people who may be experiencing any of the above + more.

The live chat feature for parents and carers is available on Wednesday evenings between 7pm and 10pm. Simply enter the website during those times and click the chat bubble in the bottom right corner. You will be asked for a name (or nickname), age and for part of your postcode.

A typical chat lasts for around 50 minutes, but may be shorter or longer.

You may not always speak to the same person, however all of our chats are handled by trained practitioners.
