Mission Statement

The Navajo County's Teen Health Program works with teens aged 11-19 in Navajo County to provide them with medically accurate information regarding their whole health including their mental, emotional, social, spiritual, and physical health.

Our mission is to empower youth in our community and to give them the tools they need so that they can make well informed decisions about their health while being aware of potential risks.

We offer free programs and curriculums that are evidence-based and rooted in a positive youth development framework.
