Teacher Trainings on Adolescent Health(AH)

Adolescence is a period of significant change for a person’s sexual, physical, emotional, and behavioral growth. Strong guidance from parents and teachers can help a teen through these stressful and new experiences.

Developmentally, adolescence age is accompanied
by major physical and emotional changes that alter
a young person’s relationships and patterns
of interaction with others.

The transition into adolescence begins with the
move towards independence from parents and
the need to establish one’s own values, personal
and sexual identity, and the skills and competencies needed to compete as an adult. If this
transitory stage is not satisfied and concerns not addressed appropriately the resultant adult can be maladjusted.

‘Adolescent Health Trainings’ aims to raise the awareness and address the issues of this sensitive age so that healthy individuals become the future of our beautiful world. Secondary school teachers of semi-government, private, and NGO schools are the targets.
