New Approaches to Adolescent Health are Essential to Meet the Needs of Today’s Youth

The Activate Teen Kits are a product designed to support you in building skills for navigating and engaging with the healthcare systems.

Activate Teen Kits

The resources in Activate Teen Kits allow you an opportunity to advocate for your own health. The kits include information cards that help you familiarize yourself with the clinic and provider(s), an appointment guide for you to prepare for your appointment, and items related to mental and reproductive health. Now that you’ve made an appointment, use the contents in the kit to prepare for when you meet with your provider.
