Training & Education

NCYL’s Teen Health Rights Initiative provides training on adolescent health care law, including minor consent, confidentiality, child abuse reporting, and other adolescent health issues.

Some of the commonly asked questions addressed in our trainings include:

  • When may providers share health care information with a parent?
  • When must providers report consensual sexual activity to child abuse authorities?
  • Who may consent for a patient’s care when neither parent is available?     
  • When may adolescents seek confidential reproductive health care services?
  • How do these laws change when a youth is in foster care or the delinquency system?
  • How does California law and practice in this area compare to other states?
  • How do these rules change when services are provided on a school site?

For a training calendar or to schedule a training, please contact the Initiative's Director, Rebecca Gudeman.
