We are
Healthy Teen Network
We believe every young person has the right to be who they are and love who they love.
That means living in a world that affirms and celebrates them for who they are. That means having the agency, opportunity, and access to make decisions about their bodies, relationships, and futures. (And feel good doing it!) That includes decisions about if, when, and how to parent—or not.
And we see you—teachers and educators, counselors and clinicians, caring adults—helping them do this. Every day, providing honest, affirming care and education, and empowering the next generation to lead healthy, fulfilling lives.
At Healthy Teen Network, we know you do your best when you’re connected to great opportunities resources, and with others working in sexual and reproductive health. That’s the magic of the Network—and why we’re here every day to help professionals learn, improve, create, and advocate.
Our Services
We tailor our services to help you…
We Stand Firm in Our Commitment to Reproductive Justice and Human Dignity for All People.
At Healthy Teen Network, we stand firm in our commitment to reproductive justice and human dignity for all people, particularly young people, especially in times of global conflict and chaos. The right to make decisions about our bodies and lives is deeply intertwined with broader issues of social justice and human dignity.
Our work is driven by the belief that every person, especially young people, no matter where they live, deserves the right to choose their own path and to live in a world where their humanity is respected. We will continue to champion these values in our work, advocating for a future where every life is valued, every choice is respected, and every community is supported in the pursuit of justice and dignity.
In Solidarity
We shine our brightest—together.
In solidarity, we turn silence into support, hesitation into harmony.
In solidarity, we commit to healing, caring for ourselves and each other.
In solidarity, we build community and make movements, defying what seeks to divide us.
In solidarity, we seek joy and justice, especially when the weight of the world seems too heavy to bear alone.
In solidarity, we discover action in anger, radiance in resistance.
Join us in Atlanta for #HealthyTeen25. In this extraordinary city, we’ll draw lessons from movements everywhere and those who’ve come before us. We’ll look inward, reflecting on our own roles in the age-old struggles for truth, justice, and liberation. We’ll uncover new ways to channel support for sexual and reproductive health care and education into shared purpose and lasting change. Ready to rise at every new challenge, book ban, or hate bill with determination and unity, we’ll dream of new potentials and possibilities, bright and boundless.
In solidarity, we uphold our right to control our bodies and shape our own destinies, settling for nothing less than true liberation.
Shine your light at #HealthyTeen25, the 45th Annual National Conference, on October 6-8, 2025, in Atlanta, GA.

Our Special Sauce
Our support and services are one-of-a-kind.
We start with you.
Everything we do is with and for you and the young people you serve. We center the end user—whether it’s you or young people—as we design our trainings, resources, and services.
This is being human-centered. We listen to you and collaborate to personalize our support.
We believe in science.
We are guided by science…the evidence. This is how we know “what works.”
And we build on this research to innovate. From our first conversations with you to making a plan and working together toward our goals, we use best practices to make sure our services are effective and efficient.
We look at the big picture.
We call this Youth 360º. How and where we live, learn, and play matters.
Whether we are talking about young people or adult professionals, each of us is shaped by the people and environment around us. Our families and friends, our co-workers and managers, communities and workplaces, and the larger society. We look at the big picture to design our services.
