With the school year being cut short and many academic and summer programs now being offered online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, local teens may be seeking reliable information regarding their health and wellbeing. Teens, ages 15 – 19, who are seeking to learn how to make positive choices about their health have a new option. It’s called The Teen Experience Health Series. These six-week virtual classes are free and are being offered by the Adolescent Health and Youth Development (AHYD) program of the Fulton County Board of Health (FCBOH).

The Teen Experience will feature informative and interactive 45-minute classes that will be conducted via Zoom videoconference and taught by an experienced adolescent health professional from the FCBOH. Teens can enroll in as many classes as they prefer. Parental consent is not required to register. The first class is Teen Pregnancy and STI/HIV Prevention and will be held Thursday, June 25 at 1 p.m. The class will be repeated on Friday, June 26 at 1 p.m. Youth enrolled in this session will have an opportunity to discuss ways to prevent unplanned pregnancy and STIs/HIV and reduce at-risk behaviors.

All classes will go live at 1 p.m. Students can sign up for the June 25 class at: bit.ly/TeenExperience-June25 or the June 26 class at: bit.ly/TeenExperience-June26

For more information about the Teen Experience Series, call Kristin Dixon at 404-612-1688 or email kristin.dixon@fultoncountyga.gov. ... See MoreSee Less

25 Years of Education, Prevention & Action for Adolescent Health

Calming Their Fears:
Talking to Children & Young People About a Nation in Crisis
Current nationwide protests — enveloped in race, police brutality, civil disobedience, and social injustice — can be hard topics for anyone to discuss, let alone discussing with children and young people. How do we talk to our young people about this crisis? How do we protect their feelings and keep them safe in a public health crisis compounded by a social unrest? How do we calm their fears?

Please join us Wednesday, June 10, at 6:00 p.m. for deep discussion and Q&A led by Judge Penny Brown Reynolds. Psychologist, Dr. Rachel Elahee, parents, and teens across Georgia, will also be part of this important discussion.

They report that this is not the time for young people to try to navigate their feelings alone, but need guidance toward as much positive energy as possible.
"Vicarious trauma through screens is real, especially for marginalized communities who may have experienced similar actions first-hand," said Dr. Jenny Radesky, a developmental behavioral pediatrician who teaches at the University of Michigan. The stress of watching traumatic events on television and smartphones "lingers within our bodies and minds," Radesky added. It is suggested for parents find ways to channel that energy with positive actions, such as deep breathing and re-grounding exercises, before playing with or talking to your kids.
