Do you have a cyber-savvy teenager?
Teen to Extreme (T2X), is a brand new health literacy program being offered to teen agers aged 13-17 nationwide.
The T2X project was created as a result of a partnership with Health Net, UCLA School of Public Health, and EPG Technologies.
Health Net Federal Services is making a concentrated effort to reach out to teens of military families.
?It?s tough being a teenager today. It can be even tougher for those in military families, as they face unique challenges when a parent or loved one serves and is deployed and redeployed. The T2X program is a cutting-edge tool for teens to not only find support through the emotional cycles of deployment but also find the information to help them live a healthy and fulfilling life,? said Tom Carrato, president of Health Net Federal Services. ?T2X empowers teens to take responsibility and become invested in their own health care and well-being.?
T2X is a teen only-community of users, with teen and professionally produced content, blogs, video sharing and other interactive media.
On T2X, teens will be able to find information on lifestyle issues such as nutrition, fitness, stress management and substance abuse.
Teens will be able to chat on line with health experts and ask questions, text key words to a designated number and receive customized content back to their mobile devices, participate in health oriented social networking through blogs, videos, and other transmedia tools.
The mission of T2X is to see teens become actively engaged in their health care and to promote health behaviors.
Parents and teen-check it out and tell us what you think.
