Organizations Filed Purposes:
To improve the health of adolescents by providing an array of services, education, advocacy, and research through connections with teens, parents, and the community.
Teen Health Connection's doctoral-level clinical psychologists provide Independent Psychological Assessments (IPAs)for children ages five to eighteen who enter into the custody of Mecklenburg County Department of Social Services, Youth and FamilyServices (DSS/YFS). The purpose of these service-independent assessments is to provide a thorough psychosocial review and inform DSS/YFS as they ensure safety and work to promote healing and optimal development of youth who have been abused and/or neglected.
The organization provides health advocacy and education services to teens in Mecklenburg County and also hosts education seminars on these same issues. In 2019, Teen Health Connection continued work with its Youth Drug Free Coalition, which provides direction related to our alcohol and substance abuse prevention and education initiatives. Community leaders within the coalition work collaboratively to identify and address youth alcohol and substance use to create sustainable community-level change through prevention strategies. The Youth Drug Free Coalition consists of representatives from the following sectors: youth, parents, business leaders, media, school representatives, representatives from youth-serving organizations, law enforcement officers, health care professionals and civic and governmental partners.
Teen Health Connection employs a team of Master's-level trained clinicians that provide outpatient mental health therapy to adolescents and their families. All of the clinicians are licensed mental health professionals that specialize in adolescent development and utilize a variety of creative techniques to build engagement with teens.
