Youth Health
Youth Health encompasses the physical, emotional, spiritual and social well-being of Adolescents ages 10-24 years old. Good health of young people is vital and significant in order to increase capacity and development of youth involvement today and in the future. This is accomplished through providing the following outcomes:
• Safe and supportive environments
• Skills, motivation and opportunities to learn all the time (academically and
professionally);
• Opportunity to fully participate as valuable members of their communities.
These outcomes will prepare youth to assume adult roles in their families, communities and
work environments.

"Working with young people requires a paradigm shift from viewing young people as future citizens to viewing young people as today's citizens, with the capacity to effect change when given adequate supports and opportunities...
It requires a breakdown of stereotypes that both adults and young people have about each other. The breakdown of stereotypes can occur through positive interactions encountered as adults and young people work together as a team to achieve goals."
