The Young Parent Network is a program designed to address the needs of pregnant and parenting teens and young adults ages 24 and younger who are struggling with the emotional, financial and personal demands of being a parent.
The goal of the program is to increase the health, safety and well-being of children and families. We do this by following evidence-based practices to assure a safe home environment, develop positive parenting skills and teach healthy ways of coping with stress overall.
