Can I access services as a teen?

Yes!

  • Title X Clinics DO NOT require written consent of parents or guardians for the provision of services. Nor can any Title X Clinic notify a parent or guardian before or after a minor accesses services.
  • Montana Law allows for a minor to self-consent for services related to prevention and diagnosis of pregnancy and reportable sexually transmitted diseases (MCA 41-1-402)
  • Providers of Title X family planning services must offer confidential services to adolescents.

That being said, it's totally understandable if your parents are worried about you. That's their job! Be sure to talk to them about your healthcare and choices when you are ready. Also, if we know you are being sexually abused by someone who is responsible for you (a parent, guardian, or other adult) we are responsible for helping you.
