Abstract:
Sexual and reproductive health are linked to mental health in girls. However, addressing these topics with girls can be challenging due to religious/cultural norms, gender diversity, and political landscape. Considering each patient's individual identity and how it may impact clinical practice are essential steps toward building the therapeutic alliance necessary to obtain this critical information. Empowering patients to understand the importance of sexual and reproductive health in mental health care will help normalize the information gathering process. Ultimately, providers should empower and educate girls on sexual and reproductive health for improved mental health outcomes.
