Teenage Parent Center of the Single Parent Assistance, Counseling and Education Project. Annual Report FY 86-87.
Middlesex County Vocational and Technical High Schools, New Brunswick, NJ.
The Teenage Parent Center of the Single Parent Assistance, Counseling and Education Project was developed to support, guide, and direct adolescent mothers, pregnant teenagers, and teens at risk of becoming parents through successful completion of a high school diploma or school year in a vocational setting in Middlesex County, New Jersey. The program's ultimate goal was to increase the economic self-sufficiency of single adolescent parents living in the area. During its first year of operation, the program encouraged over 75 clients to remain in or enroll in vocational training. The project supportive services coordinator performed case management activities to ensure that clients were provided with any of the following services that they needed: child care information and assistance; health, mental health, and social agency referral; academic and personal counseling, daily attendance support and encouragement to stay in school; meetings with other students and parents; parenting skills training; information on nontraditional vocational programs and occupations; training in job search skills and resume writing; and job placement. The project also maintains an ongoing recruitment campaign that is coordinated with local social agencies, hospitals, and schools. (MN)
