Youth Fax

At the age of 15 years, many of you will face important decisions regarding your future - decisions about education, work or related to your social and personal lives.

These pressures and expectations in young people can be considerable. It is therefore important that you are able to make choices based on a sound knowledge and understanding of the issues which face you.

We don't attempt to give you all the answers but it will help you with the basic facts and point you in the right direction if you need more information or specialised help. Youth Fax has been written for young people by the Youth Fax Consortium (West Yorkshire). The membership of this group includes representatives from:

• Bradford - The Information Shop for Young People
• Calderdale Young People's Service
• Huddersfield Public Health Resource Service
• Wakefield Young People's Service.
