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.

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.

Upcoming Events

Power Through Choices: Training-of-Facilitators

October 27-30, 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 Solidarity

October 6-8, 2025

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.
