What we do

The Boston Public Health Commission engages city youth to promote healthy relationships and reduce sexuality-based discrimination. In our program, teens train their peers on preventing dating violence and healthy ways to end relationships. 

Our Infectious Disease bureau works with local youth and community-based organizations. Together they raise awareness about preventing and treating STIs. STIs are infections that spread from one person to another through sexual contact.
