ADOLESCENT HEALTH & WELLNESS

Programs in adolescent health and wellness are designed to foster the proper physical, mental, and emotional growth of teenagers. This is a period of much change; there are influences due to hormonal changes, growth spurts, and changing social relationships. The most important considerations must hence be centered on good eating, regular exercise, and sound sleep. It is also important to have mental health support for issues such as stress, anxiety, and self-esteem. Sexual health education and substance abuse prevention, combined with the formation of strong relationships characterized by support, are also very important. More often than not, comprehensive adolescent healthcare simply implies routine checkups, vaccination, education on managing health challenges. Providing access to resources and advice helps teenagers in their transition period to build a base for further well-being.
