Teen Programs
BPHC strives to promote the physical, social, and emotional health of Boston’s teens to build a foundation for academic success, community leadership, and future health.
About
Teens teach us what health issues are most important to them, and we work to provide the tools needed to address these issues.
Our programs, like Start Strong, help teens develop healthy relationships and prevent dating violence.
Other youth programs work to build the future generation of public health leaders. We introduce teens to today’s leading policymakers and educate them on health issues impacting their communities.
Additionally, BPHC works with Boston Public Schools, where we oversee a network of school-based health centers and resource centers.
