✨ What an amazing week at APHA 2025! ✨

We’re so proud to have represented Teen Health 360 and shared our work on expanding access to comprehensive s*x education across Eastern Virginia at the APHA Annual Meeting in Washington, DC.

Presenting our projects wasn’t just about sharing data- it was about starting powerful conversations, celebrating teamwork, and building connections with public health leaders across the country and beyond!

What we presented:
🎤 Scaling Up Comprehensive S*x Education Through University–Public School Partnerships for Adolescent Health (Oral - led by Eden M.)
📌 Filling Gaps in Comprehensive S*x Education for Adolescents Through Virtual Capacity-Building Trainings in Eastern Virginia (Poster - led by Eden M.)
📌 Talking the Talk: Training Educators to Deliver Evidence-Based Adolescent S*xual Health Interventions in Hampton Roads (Poster - led by Keeley Y.)

It was such a joy connecting with colleagues from the ODU–NSU Joint School of Public Health, exchanging ideas, and celebrating our shared commitment to community well-being. 🌱

🌟 Special shoutout to Eden for her award-winning oral presentation on a PRAMS study examining maternal adversity and postpartum depression, completed during her practicum under Dr. Fu. She received Honorable Mention for Highest Scoring Abstract from the APHA Women's Caucus- congratulations Eden! 🎉

Feeling inspired, grateful, and reenergized to keep advancing work that uplifts the health and resilience of youth, families, and communities. 💚

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀

Breast cancer doesn’t just affect adults - learning about it early helps us all protect our health and support those we love.

💡 Why it matters:
Knowing the facts empowers you to take charge of your body and be there for others. Early detection saves lives - and awareness starts with YOU.

✨ Know your body:
Everyone should know what’s normal for them. While full self-checks are usually for adults, teens can still learn to notice changes (like new lumps, swelling, or pain) and talk to a trusted adult or healthcare provider if something feels off.

Together, we can spread knowledge, show compassion, and make a difference. 🌸

Today is World Bullying Prevention Day - a day to stand up, speak out, and show that kindness, respect, and inclusion are always stronger than hate. 🌍💙

September is Childhood Obesity Awareness Awareness Month 💛

It’s a time to reflect on how we can support the whole health and well-being of children and teens - including compassionate awareness of childhood obesity and related health challenges.

✨ Let’s shift the conversation from blame to support.
Health isn’t just about food or exercise - it’s shaped by community, emotions, access, and how safe and seen young people feel in their own bodies.

Instead of focusing on weight, we can promote body-positive, inclusive approaches to health that meet teens where they are.

📣Remember: healthy habits aren’t about changing your body - they’re about feeling good in it, caring for your mental health, and finding what works for you.
