Healthy Adolescent Development Strategy
Healthy Child Manitoba recognizes that teens are
capable of choosing healthy lifestyles and, through our many
community partners, provides the tools to foster a healthy
transition into adulthood.
Healthy Child Manitoba provides funding to community groups
to support healthy adolescent development, including initiatives
for teen pregnancy prevention, through teen-centred prevention
and intervention programs.
These teen-centred prevention and intervention programs fall
into the following categories:
Mentoring Interventions
We know that positive role models make a difference in the lives
of growing teens! Our mentoring programs help to promote healthy
lifestyle choices and self-esteem by building positive attachments
to a trusted person.
Health and Wellness Promotion
Programs
Everyone needs a little bit of support! These programs and initiatives
are aimed at bringing public awareness to many issues by media,
drama, by one on one counseling or health care management.
