RESOURCES: Youth/Teens

Information on Youth & Teens

• For teen and young adults with OCD, the Obsessive Compulsive Foundation (OCF) offers a web site, "Organized Chaos" for learning about OCD from others with OCD and from treatment providers. Access "Organized Chaos Webzine".
• The American Psychiatric Association published a fact sheet (2005) entitled “Let’s Talk Facts About Teen Suicide.” The fact sheet includes up-to-date information about suicide risk in youth, as well as strategies for talking about suicide with those at risk. View the fact sheet.
• A Resource Site for Teens: Youthhood. The Youthhood is a free, interactive Web site that young adults and their teachers, parents, and mentors can use to plan for life after high school. Grounded in the principals of universal design, the site addresses the future planning needs of all youth. The concept of Youthhood, as well as its content and activities, is based on current research in positive youth development and transition planning and their impact on post-high school success. The curriculum was developed by the National Center on Secondary Education and Transition (NCSET).
