Conducted at IHP in conjunction with the University of California campuses in the Bay Area.

This workshop offers health and social service providers the skills to develop strategies and programs that address adolescent health issues such as substance abuse, sexual abuse and exploitation, teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV, and self esteem and suicide. The focus will be on leveraging the assets that adolescents themselves bring to participating in solving these issues and their leadership role in improving adolescent health status in their communities and countries. The workshop focuses on program and evaluation design to develop Action Plans to improve adolescent health. Methods of budgeting, financial management and funding programs are discussed through classroom discussion and site visits to model adolescent health programs and service delivery organizations.
