Stock up on sunscreen! When you get a blistering sunburn, it damages skin cells and increases your chance of developing skin cancer. Whenever you're outside, wear a "broad-spectrum" sunscreen with an SPF of 30+ that’s water-resistant, and reapply often, especially when swimming or sweating. Consistently wearing sunscreen with SPF 30 or greater and limiting your sun exposure will reduce your risk of skin damage.

According to the CDC, each year, there are an average of 11 drowning deaths a day. Stay safe by never swimming alone and staying sober. Alcohol is involved in up to half of all water-related deaths, and half of all teen male drownings are tied to alcohol use. Parents, talk with your teen about staying alcohol-free, and encourage your teen leaders to be a part of the solution by joining Teen Health Connection’s Teen Advisory Board and helping to prevent substance use in our community.

Summer months mean higher temperatures. Stay hydrated to avoid dehydration. Engaging in physical activity outside? Drink water before you head out and at 20-minute intervals and try to schedule your time outdoors in the morning or evening to avoid peak temps. Parents, outdoor activities like a walk around the neighborhood after dinner is a great way to build connections with your teen.

Stay safe by staying sober. Driving while impaired by any substance is dangerous and illegal. It’s never safe to ride in a car with someone who’s impaired. If there is even a suspicion of alcohol or drug use, call a friend or parent for a safer ride. Parents, talk with your teens about how they can find a safe ride if they find themselves without one.

We are excited for the leadership and innovation of Dr. Kimberly Scott, Assistant Health Director of Mecklenburg County Population Health! 🎉

"I joined the Board of Directors because I believe in the power of youth to drive change in their communities and in the importance of ensuring they are equipped, supported, and heard. Teen Health Connection’s mission to empower every adolescent to be healthy, safe, and successful aligns deeply with my own commitment to advancing and amplifying voices that are too often overlooked in public health spaces.

As a public health leader, I’ve seen how early support, access, and advocacy can shape a young person’s life trajectory. Serving on this board gives me the opportunity to support teens not just as participants in their health journey, but as partners and changemakers in it. I’m honored to walk alongside this next generation of leaders and help create a healthier future for them and because of them." 👏👏👏
