Dear Colleagues,
Teenagers are confronted with unprecedented challenges as they
make their way through adolescence. Unplanned pregnancies, alcohol
and drug use, eating disorders, youth violence, depression, suicide,
peer pressure, family stress, and broken relationships are just a
few of the issues facing today's adolescents. This week's
newsletter focuses on some of these health concerns.
