Programs & Centers
Center for Healthy Youth Development
The Center for Healthy Youth Development (CHYD) works to integrate equitable Healthy Youth Development principles into all systems of practice, program, and policy. In partnership with communities statewide, we develop, evaluate, disseminate, and apply evidence-based best practices in Healthy Youth Development to locally-identified challenges.
YouthCHAT
YouthCHAT Educators are trained as simulated patients employed by the Division to participate in interactive educational sessions with clinical trainees. Educators help interdisciplinary adolescent health professionals hone their clinical interviewing skills through these sessions, and consult both internally and externally on adolescent and young adult health projects.
