"Groundbreaking . .
. This database is the front-runner in health information for teenagers

School Library Journal
“This resource will change lives.”
—Paula Busey, Head Librarian, ThunderRidge High School
“Rosen Publishing has long been a teen ally. This new Health & Wellness
offering speaks to teens in the digital language they prefer. By providing
teens with instant access to accurate information, this database will save
teen lives.”
—Laura Cleveland, Youth Services Librarian, Fayetteville Public Library,
2005 Library of the Year
“With Teen Health & Wellness in my office or school library, I have
a powerful resource at my fingertips. When a student comes to me, I can
share relevant articles on the spot, or point them to articles to access
in the school library or from home. The articles in Teen Health &
Wellness are intelligent, compassionate, developmentally appropriate
and address the most pressing problems facing today's youth. I plan to
recommend Rosen's Teen Health & Wellness to my students at
school—and to the middle school and high school teens I work with in my
private practice."
—Michael Barta, Ph.D., Counselor, Casey Middle School
