Teen Clinic at Bowdoin Street Health Center
It is well-known that, for a variety of reasons, visits to the health center become less frequent as older children and adolescents grow. Yet, young people often start to face multiple and complex challenges at home, school and in their community as they get older. Identifying and addressing these challenges and their effects on young's people behavior is important for health center providers. That's why at Bowdoin Street Health Center we have opened a Teen Clinic. The Teen Clinic is open every Wednesday from 3-5pm and anyone age 13-21 can make an appointment or just walk in. All services are private and confidential.
