The Teen Nurturing Program is a joint project with several other community agencies.  Our staff participation is the provision of a half-time Project Director, who is a Masters level Therapist.  In addition to the training program, the Program Director also provides clinical interventions when needed.  The goals of the program include reducing child abuse, teaching appropriate parenting skills, and encouraging enrolled teens to complete their education, including, when appropriate, attending community college.  The Center portion of the Teen Parent program is funded by a grant from the Children’s Trust Fund and support from MCCFC.  Teen fathers are welcome in the program.
