Program

Adolescent Health & Youth Development

Adolescent Health & Youth Development aims to empower youth in the Cobb &Douglas Public Health district to advocate for healthy life choices for youth, ages 10-19. Through collaborating with schools, faith-based, non-profit organizations, and other government agencies, a network of community-based supports have been developed to help adolescents improve health outcomes and succeed as they move into adulthood. Programs and services enhance life skills, healthy behaviors and activities, and reduce high-risk behaviors, such as violence, substance abuse, poor school performance, and sexual activity.
