Contact your local YMCA. The YMCA is a Christ-centered organization just like us. They have resources to help you take care of your physical, mental, and spiritual health and well-being.

Testimonial --
Teen Moms Anonymous has profoundly impacted me in so many ways since I joined the July cohort. The founder Dr. Chris's dedication and the resources provided within her organization have been nothing short of inspirational. Throughout the program, I've delved into motherhood, using "The Emotionally Absent Mother" as a guiding tool, which has given me valuable insights into effective parenting. Additionally, the weekly discussions covering a wide range of topics, particularly those related to situations of abuse and parenting, have proven to be an invaluable source of support and empowerment. Through this group, I am looking forward to not only gaining new knowledge but also supporting other teen moms to feel a sense of belonging and solidarity while fostering personal growth and resilience.

If your high school, college, or university offers a teen parenting program or parenting classes, please take advantage of those resources. Your school is offering those resources to help you succeed. Legally, because of Title IX, the school cannot mandate that you participate, but it is in your best interest and that of your child to participate. You will find emotional and moral support and learn parenting skills to help you be the best parent you can be.
Contact your Guidance Counselor or the Counseling Department to find out what programs your school or college or university offers. You must get CONNECTED. You were not designed to do this alone.
