Programs that provide teens with support, education, and counseling may help teens to become the best parents they can be and reach their own goals. Health care providers who take care of pregnant and parenting teenagers are trying to find out what types of programs are most helpful for the physical, emotional, and social health of pregnant and parenting teenagers. The purpose of this study is to find out what kinds of activities help teens be successful as parents and achieve success in their lives.
