New Heartland Rosen Teen Health & Wellness Online Database

This award-winning database provides students in grades 7-12 with comprehensive curricular support and self-help tools on topics such as diseases, drugs, alcohol, nutrition, fitness, mental health, diversity, family life, work readiness and more. It gives answers to real life questions and issues facing young adults. It’s an excellent resource in guidance, health classes, family living classes and for reports in social studies and language arts. It includes reliable age-appropriate information that can be used for students’ personal learning. Authentic first-person teen narratives and 24-hour Iowa and national hotlines for teens in crisis make this a unique and important resource for students, teachers and parents. Feel free to share this information with your teachers and in parent newsletters.

How to access: Use the online database username and password assigned to your school. Use the federated search at http://comcat-agent.auto-graphics.com or go directly to http://www.teenhealthandwellness.com. A packet of promotional materials has been sent to the teacher-librarian.
