Teen Health Connection

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.

The organization provides health advocacy and education services to teens in Mecklenburg County and also hosts education seminars on these same issues. In 2024, 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.

The Youth Drug Free Coalition consists of representatives from the following sectors: youth, parents, business leaders, media, school representatives, representatives from youth-servingorganizations, law enforcement officers, healthcare professionals and civic and governmental partners.
