The Office of Population Affairs (OPA) celebrates National Adolescent Health Month™ (NAHM™). This annual observance emphasizes the importance of building on young people’s strengths and potential, encouraging meaningful youth engagement in adolescent health activities, and highlighting key topics in adolescent health. During May, OPA shares information and resources to help you engage with the many facets of adolescent health.
Celebrate National Adolescent Health Month with OPA in May!
NAHM is a time for adults from across the country to come together and support adolescents in our communities. During NAHM and all year long, OPA’s grant recipients, health care and human services providers, youth-serving professionals, and parents and caregivers connect youth to services and opportunities that build on their strengths and potential.
This year, the NAHM theme is Taking Action to Advance Adolescent Health. OPA encourages individuals, organizations, and communities to take action to support youth!
Join OPA in advancing the vision that all adolescents in the United States have the safety, support, and resources to thrive, be healthy, and have opportunities. We can all come together to support individuals and communities working to create change that benefits young people!
