Why is there a Teen Clinic?
Teen Clinic allows teenagers in our community to feel heard, and empowered to access a range of services in a non-judgemental environment, respecting their autonomy and confidentiality.
We believe that by giving our young people access to early intervention we will have long lasting impacts on many aspects of their health. Such aspects include the prevention of unwanted early pregnancy, the ripple effect of youth suicide, accurate timely health screening, and early access for concerns around mental health.
Teen Clinic has been operating from Bega Valley Medical Practice since May 2015 with good uptake from teens and continuing support from our community.
