ADOLESCENT HEALTH

Our Adolescent Health (AH) division supports youth in navigating their adolescence, exploring their self-identity and forming healthy peer relationships. In school and out-of-school environments, IWES creates safe spaces for youth to learn medically-accurate information about their bodies and deepen their understanding of the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, decision-making, and actions. Through the development of social, emotional, and cognitive competencies, youth build healthy self-esteem, confidence, coping skills and resilience.
