Teen Parents

Doing a good job is important for parents of all ages. But young parents sometimes have it tougher because they're juggling so many other balls. Finishing school, finding child-care, and making use of certain social programs can all help teens become not only good parents, but independent adults as well.

Teens in Kitsap County can use this site for information and referrals to a variety of programs. On site resources provide information about how to apply for services, and about issues of interest. Off site links can provide you with child development information and links to services.

Perhaps you feel isolated and would like to talk with others. (As Mr. Rogers would say "Works more fun when you do it together"). Try our chat room and say hello. You should sign up for the yahoo group to get the chat room to work.
