Creating Adolescent-Friendly Care Spaces

This on-demand training, presented by Rachel Whitfield, APRN, FNP-C and Title X Program Manager at Children’s Mercy in Kansas City, offers a comprehensive guide to making sexual and reproductive healthcare more accessible and effective for adolescents.

Drawing from clinical expertise, CDC data, and national best practices, the session centers on how to build trust with young patients, create welcoming clinical environments, and empower teens to take charge of their health decisions.

Adolescent care isn’t just about providing services—it’s about creating space where young people feel seen, safe, and supported. This training shows that with the right tools, conversations, and settings, we can meet teens where they are and light the way toward healthier futures.
