This year, we're doing an extra push for the Teen Health and Wellness Database, accessible from home or school with your Washington County Library card. The database didn't get a whole lot of use, last year, which is a shame, as it offers an excellent one-stop shop for teens, instructors, and parents on mental and physical health topics. It offers articles on just about any related topic you can think of and is an excellent place for teens to go when they're seeking answers to tough questions they may not feel comfortable going straight to a human source for. Issues are broken down in easy to comprehend articles, and is also provides links to local (Washington County) and national support organizations. The links to further reading are also highly recommended to teens who are researching topics.
Use of this database was unfortunately low last year, so please promote this to your students. It would make a great resource for health class reports, too!
