Adolescent health service platform entrance

The first is the "Adolescent Health Service Area" in the "Healthy China" APP led by the National Health Commission, the second is the adolescent health service module embedded in the smart education platform directly under the provincial and municipal education departments (bureaus), and the third is the dedicated port for health help on the "Voice of Youth" platform of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League. Links to other unofficial channels must be carefully screened to avoid leaking personal information or being misled.

Last month, I ran into a trap when I was helping my neighbor’s junior high school student to find a pre-exam psychological counseling portal. I searched for a long time on the search engine, and the first few pages were full of advertisements for private psychological counseling agencies. When I clicked on them, I had to pay a 99 yuan "first consultation fee" and had to fill in sensitive information such as the child's name, school, and grade. I was so scared that I quit. Later, I asked the school's moral education director for the official link, and I learned that the regular services are not only free, but you don't even need to fill in your real name.

Many parents may be confused, how to choose among the three entrances? In fact, each has its own emphasis, and choosing the right one can save a lot of trouble. If you just want to check popular science content such as myopia prevention and control, children's diet, spinal correction, or make an appointment for local free physical fitness monitoring for teenagers, just go directly to the Healthy China section. The above content is all recorded by experts from national medical institutions. There are no products, and there are no messy "7-day heightening remedies". My sister's baby was diagnosed with mild scoliosis last year, so she found the rehabilitation exercises from the Sports Medicine Department of the Third Hospital of Peking University on the Internet. After practicing for half a year, she had improved a lot during the last review. It is much more reliable than those eye-catching personal training tutorials on social platforms.

If a child has emotional problems, such as being stressed about exams, having conflicts with classmates, or even being scolded by his parents for falling in love and not wanting to tell the people around him, he should first choose the entrance to the education system. The counselors there are all qualified in psychological counseling for primary and secondary schools. Many of them are psychological teachers who are stationed in schools all year round. They are particularly aware of the little thoughts of adolescent children. The consultation process is anonymous and the situation will not be leaked to the school or parents. I met a little girl who was a sophomore in high school before. She was tired of studying for half a month because of a quarrel with her parents. She made an appointment for free consultation through the entrance of the local smart education platform. After three conversations, she gradually became willing to go back to school. Her parents and the school were unaware of the whole process, and privacy protection was particularly good.

If you encounter problems that are not just health-related, such as requiring psychological intervention after being bullied on campus, or if no one follows up on problems during a physical examination organized by the school, or even if you encounter illegal health-related school charges, go to the "Voice of Youth" entrance to submit a complaint. This port not only has health consultants, but also has connections with Communist Youth League staff and legal volunteers. It can directly link schools, communities and even local education departments to solve problems. It is much more functional than the first two.

Of course, many parents and front-line educators now complain that the official entrance is too "hidden" and cannot be found at ordinary times. I tried it myself and searched for "adolescent health service platform" on the search engine. Seven of the first ten results were marketing links from third-party organizations. The official entrances were all ranked after the second page. Ordinary people had no patience to turn to it. There are also many people who call for these portals to be directly embedded in the livelihood service sections of WeChat and Alipay, or to be connected with the commonly used home-school group applets, so that people do not need to download separate APPs. After all, there are already enough APPs on mobile phones. Many people delete them after using them once and cannot find them the next time. This statement is indeed reasonable. After all, no matter how easy-to-use the portal is, it is useless for everyone to find it.

To be honest, don’t click on the links for “free youth psychological counseling” and “grow 5cm taller in 10 days” links that pop up in the pop-up window. A parent around me just clicked on the pop-up window for convenience last year. After filling in his mobile phone number, he received sales calls for height-increasing products and cram schools every day for half a month. It was extremely annoying. What’s even more outrageous is that some third-party links will contain information such as the child’s school and home address, which poses a considerable security risk. If you really can't find the official entrance, just ask the school nurse or class teacher directly. The link they have is definitely the most reliable, which is much better than searching blindly for half an hour on your own.
