Parent Resources: Wellness & Health Education for Teens and Younger
Tools and guides to help parents of teens and younger with topics such as puberty, social media, physical and mental health, anatomy, social & emotional wellness, adolescent sexual health, parenting workshops, and more.
As with all aspects of parenting, these resources are available to you to read and use as you see fit in your family. We are not promoting any one way of parenting adolescents, simply offering resources for you to use at your discretion.
This is in no way a comprehensive list of parent resources. If you have some you love, please let us know about them by emailing us at health@chaffeecounty.org
