The Programs's Purpose
The philosophy of the Teen Services Program is
that all young people are entitled to learn how to care for their
reproductive health to ensure a safe and healthy adolescence.
Its mission is to help youth establish patterns
of caring for their reproductive health that will last throughout
life.
The goal is to increase the number of adolescents
who engage in behaviors that will protect their reproductive health.
