What is a youth clinic?
Every large city in France has a youth clinic. It is a place of welcome, listening, exchange, information, guidance and support for young people aged 13 to 25.
They are welcome to the centre and given advice on a confidential basis. Visits are free of charge and no appointment is required, but because of the pandemic, access is reserved to appointments, which you can book at any time during the week; however, phone consultations are available with no need for appointments every Friday from 12:00 to 15:00. We are committed to being very watchful to confidentiality and discretion.
ESJ London is aimed at 13-25 years old. It is open every Friday between 12pm and 3pm and the clinic takes place at the premises of the Dispensaire Français - Société Française de Bienfaisance, in Hammersmith.
An online chat is also available on the ESJ London website outside opening hours.
What is it for?
The ESJ addresses all youth health issues:
Anxiety, addictions, bullying, dermatology, emotional wellbeing, love, nutrition, sexuality...
The clinic is operated by three professionals:
a psychologist, a doctor and one person from the Dispensaire Français. Their role is to welcome, listen and guide young persons. They can advise and, if needed, refer to other health professionals at the Dispensaire Français (gynaecologist, nutritionist, psychologist, dermatologist, nurse) or to British public health services (NHS).
