MYAN News & Teen Talk Archives

 Back to Home

MYAN News was published three times a year. It connected groups statewide by providing a forum for information and news that effects youth peer programs. It was a place for youth to publish articles and share their programs' successes. We also kept groups up to date on what's happening at Regional Trainings and the Annual Peer Leadership Conference.

Teen Talk was the Healthy Maine Partnership's youth directed newsletter featuring up-to-date information on tobacco use prevention, physical activity and healthy eating. This informative resource highlights statewide and community based programs and activities related to tobacco use, physical activity and healthy eating. Teen Talk was distributed in the MYAN News.
