Teen Health Mississippi is a passionate organization dedicated to improving the sexual health of Mississippi teens. What sets them apart is their commitment to actively involving youth in creating solutions that address the unique challenges their communities face. Rather than simply lecturing youth, they empower them to contribute their ideas and insights because they understand that young people have firsthand knowledge of what's happening on the streets and in their neighborhoods.

Their work is built on a foundation of three primary domains: Policy & Advocacy, Training & Capacity Building, and Programs & Initiatives. Through Policy & Advocacy, they engage youth advocates and community stakeholders to raise awareness of important policies concerning teen sexual health and work towards improving them at state, local, and organizational levels. Their Training & Capacity Building efforts focus on equipping youth-serving adults and organizations with the knowledge and resources to effectively implement evidence-based strategies, programs, and services.

Finally, their Programs & Initiatives are informed by research and best practices, targeting risk and protective factors that influence teen sexual health. If you have any questions or want to get involved, Teen Health Mississippi welcomes your inquiries. Sign up for updates to stay informed about their impact and receive action alerts directly in your inbox.

They also offer resources for health center staff, parents, teachers, and teens, making it easy to access information that promotes informed decisions and positive sexual health outcomes.
