About us

TeenHealthLaw.org and the Compendium are projects of the National Center for Youth Law (NCYL). They are intended to facilitate access to essential healthcare for young people by helping healthcare providers understand the many laws that impact their work with adolescents. The website’s initial focus was California law. With the addition of the Compendium, the site has now expanded to include content on all 50 states and D.C. while maintaining the detailed California specific materials so many have relied on over the years.

Based on provider requests for information, NCYL staff research and create relevant content. Staff also respond to requests for technical assistance, education, and training.
