Teenagers across Swin-don can seek advice about anything from relationships to drugs from Connexions Direct.
Connexions Direct is a Government initiative that aims to help 13 to 19-year-olds tackle issues such as careers, housing, health, and teenage pregnancy.
The national telephone service provides free, confidential guidance for 18 hours a day from 8am until 2am. There are now two centres, in Temple Street and Theatre Square, where people can meet Connexions Direct advisors in person.
"They can talk to us on the telephone about anything from bullying to family problems in total confidence," said spokeswoman Lindsey Darking. Young people can contact Connexions Direct on 080 800 13219.
