OFFICE OF BORDER PUBLIC HEALTH 2024 ADOLESCENT HEALTH CONFERENCE 

Our dedicated team from Texas Is Ready provided an enlightening and

Border Public Health Adolescent Health Conference held in El Paso. The
session drew an impressive crowd of around 100 parents and professionals
keen to engage in this thought-provoking and educational event. In addition
to the main session, Kassy Castillo, a Program Coordinator at Healthy
Futures, delivered a captivating presentation specifically tailored to the
teen audience, focusing on the importance of "Healthy Relationships." Her
