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.
