The Chandigarh UT Health Department has started a special program called the Adolescent Clinic to help teenagers stay healthy.
They talk about important topics like taking care during periods, not using too much technology, avoiding bad habits like smoking, eating healthy food, managing stress, and getting enough sleep.
The program started with teaching about menstrual hygiene and is now covering other problems that teenagers face.
They have special helpers in schools, including teachers and students, to make sure everyone learns and stays healthy.
