FHCCP offers Adolescent Health programs that meet young people where they are during this time of growth and exploration by providing them with the information and skills needed to safely explore the world around them.

Through carefully designed activities, adolescent health programs help young people build and enhance the following skills:

Making Decisions and Managing Stress

Pause. Breathe. Ask yourself: Will this help me or hurt me in the long run?Stress is loud—take a beat before you act.

Communicating Effectively

Flip for a quick tip →
A healthy relationship feels safe, respectful, and supportive. You should never have to guess how someone feels about you.

Identifying and Managing Feelings and Emotions

Flip for a quick tip →
Feelings aren’t facts—but they do tell you something important. Try naming what you feel: “I’m frustrated because…”

Building and Maintaining Healthy Relationships

Flip for a quick tip →
Start with “I” statements. Try: “I feel ___ when ___ because ___.” It helps you express yourself without blame.

These skills are important in helping young people navigate a variety of experiences and situations they may encounter during adolescence. Young people and their families should have access to trusted information about their physical and reproductive health.
