Our resources for providers are free to download.

Note that our resources for providers are not meant for direct youth consumption. However, these do contain resources for Providers to facilitate conversations with youth and their parents/caregivers.

This toolkit focuses on adolescent mental health and substance use conditions. Specific disorders were selected to be examined more closely in this toolkit and therefore we had to prioritize certain disorders based on relevance to the primary care setting. We omit several important disorders including: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, and learning disabilities.

This toolkit takes a closer look at common substance use and mental health issues among youth and includes:

  • Screening and assessment tools
  • 12 mental health and substance use issue briefs
  • Evaluation and treatment algorithms for general behavioral health concerns, depression, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
  • Brief office interventions and counseling guidelines
  • Behavioral health information and worksheets for providers
  • Health education materials for teens and their adult caregivers
  • Online resources and hotlines

AHWG works in collaboration with many nonprofit organizations, municipal agencies, and educational institutions. We thank the following organizations for their partnership and contributions to content in this toolkit:

  • Balboa High School Youth Advisory Board
  • Blue Cross of California
  • Cole Street Clinic
  • Coleman Parent Advocates
  • Dimensions Clinic
  • Edgewood Center for Children and Families
  • Everett Middle School PTSA
  • Excelsior Boys and Girls Club
  • Mission Neighborhood Health Center
  • New Generation Health Center
  • San Francisco Department of Public Health
  • San Francisco Youth Task Force
  • University of California San Francisco, Children’s Center at Langley Porter
  • University of California San Francisco, Dept. of Pediatrics
  • University of California San Francisco, Dept. of Psychiatry at Langley Porter
  • University of California San Francisco, Mt. Zion Teen Services
  • University of California San Francisco, School of Nursing
  • Walden House
