RESOURCES
As part of this national initiative, our team relies on the latest research and the most innovative information on adolescent health. Through the course of the initiative, our Start Strong Learning Community will be utilizing innovative research, programs, curricula and strategies. As we come across information that may be useful to others in this work, we will post documents and links here. We will also provide updates from Start Strong Insights, a group of experts, practitioners and teen leaders from our national learning community on prevention. Please check back here or sign up for news and updates or follow us on Twitter.
