Frequently Asked Questions

How much do services cost?

Services are provided FREE of charge (since billing a health insurance plan risks indirectly notifying the parent that a teen sought TWC services). Contact a Teen Wellness clinic staffer for more information on what and when information is withheld. 

Will parents be informed about services?

Virginia state law allows us to provide some services without parental consent. That means that in most cases, if a teen has asked for or received any of the confidential services listed above, we cannot legally share information regarding that service with the parent or guardian.

Immigration status is not checked or recorded. We will ask you if you live in the City of Alexandria.   

Who qualifies for services?

The Teen Wellness Center serves ALL teenagers aged 12 to 19 years old, who live in the City of Alexandria. You don't have to be a student at Alexandria City High School.
