What is You+?

That's why we have opened You+ - your one stop shop for health and advice. You+ is a brand new lifestyle shop in the centre of Chelmsley Wood where you can get support to eat healthily, be the right weight, take exercise, stop smoking, manage stress and get advice on all the other health matters that have a big impact on your life.

Help and advice for stopping smoking: smokers are four times more successful at kicking the habit when they get help from the Solihull NHS Stop Smoking Service. Trained stop smoking advisors are on hand to provide one-to-one and group support and can also give you up to eight weeks of Nicotine Replacement Therapy for a one-off prescription charge (or free if you are exempt from paying for prescriptions).
Stop Smoking clinics are on Wednesday 2pm - 5pm and Saturday 10am -12pm.
Breastfeeding support: a mother's milk gives a baby the very best start in life and offers maximum protection against infections, such as flu. The breastfeeding café at You+ gives mums a place to relax and meet others. Each Friday, 10am - 12pm.
