The Georgia Adolescent Health Alliance
THE GEORGIA ADOLESCENT HEALTH ALLIANCE (The Alliance) is a convening of public and private stakeholders across Georgia’s youth support ecosystem to align strategies and actions that improve the health and well-being of Georgia’s adolescent population. The Alliance officially launched via a virtual kick-off meeting on Nov. 11, 2021 with scores of organizations from all across the state signing on to learn more.
RECOGNIZING THE POWER OF COLLECTIVE ACTION, we are dedicated to sharing knowledge and resources, elevating awareness of adolescent health needs, and advocating for policies that eliminate adolescent health disparities and advance health equity. Our collaborative efforts work to empower youth and advance health outcomes – such as social, emotional, physical, mental, sexual and reproductive health, among others.
