Teen Health Referrals

• The Teen Health Initiative ensures that teens 13-19 years old are up-to-date on their vaccinations. In addition to this, teens obtain general knowledge on topics related to mental and physical health. Lastly, pregnant teens also receive the necessary information to establish a medical home. Thus by establishing a medical home, teens can gain early access to prenatal care to reduce the number of pregnancy-related complications.

Health Education

The Department of Public Health encourages individuals to make their mental health a priority. The Medicaid Waiver program has trained staff to provide mental health resources to the community that include:

• Treatment referrals
• Information about local mental health agencies
• Educational material
