…Without her, what stuff do I need in order to get some at the Teen Clinic?

Nothing!  At Teen Clinic, you won’t need any special documents, records, or parental approval to start on a birth control method.  It’s actually your legal right to receive confidential reproductive healthcare, even as a teen!  Just walk in at our Longmont or Boulder locations, or call us to make an appointment the day before you’d like to come in.  And remember, all services at Teen Clinic are free.

What will happen once I’m there? When you get here, we’ll have you fill out some paperwork to get started. Then we’ll take you back to see a nurse, who will ask you about your family history and lifestyle to determine which method is best for you.  When you leave, you’ll have a three-month prescription for birth control and a better understanding of your body.  Our nurses can also help you brainstorm ways to talk about your birth control with your mom.

Taking care of your health can take courage and initiative–way to step up!
