ABOUT TEENHEALTHSTL.ORG
This website was founded by Missouri’s Teen Pregnancy and Prevention Partnership, alongside youth service providers Better Family Life and Mathews-Dickey Boys and Girls Club, as part of the Federal Teenage Pregnancy Prevention program. Additional funding for this project was provided by the Missouri Foundation for Health.
These partners worked with GoodMap, a local nonprofit consultant and web developer, to put together teenhealthstl.org. During the design process, dozens of teens gave direction and feedback about what this site should do.

- Confidentiality
- Privacy
- Consent
- Cultural and Linguistic Appropriateness
- Comprehensive Services
- Parent/Guardian Involvement
