Teens
Between Us wants to provide you with all the tools you need to be healthy and responsible when making decisions about your sexual health. If you have questions or you need sexual health-related services, such as pregnancy testing, STI testing or treatment, or contraceptives (including plan B, pills, injections, implants, or IUD), make a Between Us appointment in any of our clinics with your primary care provider (even if it is your pediatrician), and you will receive the care you need CONFIDENTIALLY (that means your parents will not be called or get a bill that shows the services you received in your clinic).
Find several resources for both teens, parents and caregivers on the Here for Life Blog.
