While the Starting Out Right Program has come to an end, its impact will continue to resonate within the community for years to come, and we will continue to offer Active Parenting: First Five Years and Aim4Teen Moms.



Available Programs for Teen Parents

Active Parenting: First Five Years
Active Parenting: First Five Years is a parenting education program that works with parents and their children ages 0-5 on relationship improvement, mental health, and child well-being and behavior. Using a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy, the understanding of emotion interacting with a child’s brain, and methods for academic success, our program’s goal is to achieve both kindergarten readiness and household well-being.
