4Girls Health is sponsored by The National Women’s Health Information Center of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office on Women’s Health, and targets girls from the ages of 10 to 16. This resource anticipates many health and relationship concerns that are likely to arise during female adolescence and addresses issues within the following categories:

  • nutrition
  • illness and disability
  • drugs and alcohol
  • mind
  • relationships
  • safety
  • looking ahead
Safety addresses not only concerns in relationships, home, and school, but also street smarts, driving, and Internet safety. Looking Ahead focuses on early education and career planning as well as a variety of volunteer and program opportunities.There is also a 4Parents and Caregivers page that steers parents toward resources and guidance to help prepare for issues that affect adolescent girls.
