A Safe Place to Explore Health Issues

Teens have questions about their growing bodies and we now have a health database created just for teens that promises “real answers” to questions about “real life.”

Teen Health & Wellness has been made possible by a grant from The Erin Jessica Moreken Drug & Alcohol Treatment Fund, Inc. Established in 2002 by Tom and Betty Moreken in memory of their daughter Erin, who died at the age of 28 from a drug overdose.

The website tackles tough topics familiar with today’s adolescents through an extensive menu of topics. Unlike some health websites that are written entirely by experts, Teen Health & Wellness features the voices of teens talking about their own experiences.

Thanks to the Moreken Family gift, Teen Health & Wellness available to anyone with a LCLS library card.
