Adolescence or teenage years is a very unique and special stage of life. Adolescents need extra focus and guidance, hence having a health screening at this age is crucial.
Physical and mental changes happen in puberty, in addition of peer pressure, self-awareness, social life and social media influences, can make adolescents emotionally labile. Regular health screenings help to identify any stressors early on in order to best manage them.
Four our older adolescents, there should also be discussions about sexuality/drugs/alcohol/substance abuse and and assessment of mental health wellness.
We offer Health Screenings that are personalised to your child's individual circumstances, taking into account the teenager's gender, age, health and family history.
