Adolescence
Adolescent Health – A Safe, Confidential Space for Teens to Thrive
Adolescence is a time of rapid physical, emotional, and social change. Our adolescent
health service provides a safe, confidential space where teens can discuss their health
openly, while still involving parents in a way that respects their growing independence.
How Our Team Supports Teenagers and Their Families
We offer a full range of adolescent health services via telehealth, including:
- Mental health support for anxiety, depression, and stress
- Acne management and skin concerns
- Nutrition, sports medicine, and healthy lifestyle advice
- Risk behaviour counselling (e.g., substance use, screen time, sleep)
- Chronic condition management (e.g., asthma, diabetes, headaches) through the teenage years
- Puberty and menstrual health education
What to Expect During an Adolescent Telehealth Visit
We tailor each visit to the teen’s comfort level. At the start, we discuss confidentiality
guidelines. We
encourage teens to take an active role in their healthcare decisions. Parents are often
involved at the beginning and end of the visit, with a portion of the session dedicated to
private conversation with the teen when appropriate.
