On Our Minds
rise, reimagine, and reinvent
44th Annual National Conference
November 18-20, 2024 | Phoenix, AZ
Today’s adolescent experience unfolds with breathtaking speed.
- Embrace it. Time, tech, and trends wait for no one.
- Stay curious. There is power in trying new things, in asking bold questions.
- Keep listening. Take it all in. What young people need is ever-changing.
- Do something—anything. It won’t be perfect, but it will be something.
At #HealthyTeen24, we’ll extend a hand to the willing and wavering—to the dreamers and doers cheering on change and to those imploring, “steady as we go.” We’ll forge connections with new colleagues under the desert stars. We’ll reflect on what sets today’s young people apart. And we’ll strain, stretch, and shift our understanding of innovation until it colors our everyday work.
Low-budget, low-tech, no matter. Sometimes, it’s the tiny acts that make the greatest change.
Our work is a journey, not a destination. Today’s trends may be tomorrow’s tropes, but with the right mindsets, we’ll be ready for what(ever) the future may hold.
Like a phoenix, we’ll rise, reimagine, and reinvent.
Be part of the magic at #HealthyTeen24.
Join us at the beautiful Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort in Phoenix, AZ. Sign up to receive our emails and don’t miss important information about the speakers, award nominations, and when early bird registration opens!
the science of how young people thrive
Every young person has a right to bodily autonomy and sexual health and well-being. To realize these rights, young people need access to sexual and reproductive health programs and services that are safe, honest, inclusive, affirming, healing-centered, and trauma-informed.
We see you—the teachers and educators, the counselors and clinicians, the caring adults—working hard every day to make this happen. We know you do your best when you have easy access to the latest research, along with practical, helpful opportunities and resources.
That’s why Healthy Teen Network and Johns Hopkins Center for Adolescent Health have partnered to create Thrivology.
Thrivology brings you the latest research on how to provide the very best sexual and reproductive health education and care, so young people may thrive.

Power Through Choices: Training-of-Facilitators
June 9-12, 2025
Ready to implement the only proven effective curriculum designed for and with youth involved in systems of care?
We’ll train your facilitators to implement the evidence-based program, Power Through Choices, with young people. Check out the information for the next training.
When you purchase a copy of the Power Through Choices curriculum, you also receive a “seat” in a virtual Training-of-Facilitators, which must be redeemed within one year of the curriculum purchase. We offer these trainings virtually twice a year.
Alternatively, we may also be available to come to you to train your staff, on-site (at an additional cost). If you have at least 12 health educators ready to implement Power Through Choices, this may be the option for you!
Training-of-Facilitator participants get the background and practice they need to be ready to implement the program with quality and fidelity. Ongoing technical assistance to make adaptations and support implementation is also available.

In/Tend Incubator Hub
October 7, 2024 - May 30, 2025
Are you passionate about making positive change in adolescent sexual and reproductive health? Interested in digging deep into the world of human-centered design to address real-world challenges?
Human-centered design is a creative problem-solving approach that starts by understanding the needs and experiences of the people you’re designing for, resulting in solutions truly tailored to their needs and preferences.
If you have a big challenge you want to solve in this field, join us for an immersive 7-month journey at the In/Tend Incubator Hub, where dreamers, doers, and changemakers come together to make a difference.
Ready to roll up your sleeves? Check out the Choose Your Own Adventure application for our Incubator Hub which starts accepting submissions on July 10.
