We are very excited to inform you about a state-wide initiative that supports our youth (ages 13-17). The Adolescent Health Alliance of Georgia (AHA-GA) is a collaborative initiative bringing together public and private stakeholders from across Georgia's youth support ecosystem to align strategies and actions that holistically improve the health and well-being of Georgia's adolescent population.

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, s*xual, and reproductive health, among others.

We invite you to join AHA-GA and participate in initiatives that will directly support our states' youth by attending our introductory virtual call on Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024 at 11:00am. To sign up, visit https://www.tfaforms.com/5147065.
