#FindHelpFriday: JustTeens Clinic

#FindHelpFriday is back! This week, we’re featuring the JustTEENS Clinic, a public health clinic for people 19 and younger. JustTEENS has locations in both High Point and Greensboro and provides necessary health services to teens in a private, confidential setting. These services include everything from physicals and vaccinations to pregnancy tests and family planning services. Teens can contact the clinic and schedule a visit on their own time and their own terms, no adults required.

The staff at the clinic are very excited to talk about the many different things JustTEENS has to offer:

Guard Your Family from Overscheduling

This is the time of year when families are pulled in many directions and may feel pressure to sign up for more than they can handle. Be mindful in taking on new activities that impact your family’s schedule and consider how to align your family’s schedule with your values and priorities.

Set the Stage for Your Family’s Best School Year Yet!

Don’t just blindly go into the new school year without giving thought to what you’d like this year to look like for your family. Below are a few questions you might take time to think about or discuss with your family as you ease into the new school year:

What are you most excited about for this new school year?
What are you most nervous about for this new school year?
What do you think will be the most different this year as compared to last year?
How do you want to balance your family’s time this school year?
What sources of support can you depend upon as the school year gets underway?
What strategies can you use to cope with stress when it comes up this school year?
What are your most important goals for the year ahead, and how could your family members support you in reaching these goals?
