Teen Talk is a monthly, live-curated panel discussion driven by teens for teens. Providing a voice and platform for often voiceless young people is at the heart of this series. Teen Talk Ambassadors, who are chosen from Tulsa area high schools, select topics of interest to them and their peers, and rotate as host and panelists to bring those topics to life. The program aims to cultivate an interest in leadership, current events, and broadcast media among participating students as well as those who attend the live events or listen to the broadcasts.

Talking About...
New year, new you?
We've often heard the saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” but public health education can address community health outcomes and disparities. In this Teen Talk conversation with Symptoms to Stories, youth will discuss their efforts to improve health literacy in Tulsa County, Oklahoma by bridging the disconnect between confusing, technical health information and the accessibility of local community resources. These barriers contribute to less preventative health promotion engagement and negative long-term consequences on an individual level and societal level. Join us to learn more about authentic youth engagement in public health through social media!
