The Young Parent Support Services Program of Family Service Center of Sangamon County has been providing services to families since 1983. Our program targets teen parents expecting a first child and/or teen parents that have a newborn (2 weeks old or younger). The teen parent must live in Sangamon County. Program services are free, confidential, and voluntary. The Young Parent Support Services Program offers teen parents ways to:

• Learn About Your Baby through in-home visits focused on giving information about the care and development of your baby and focusing on the interaction between the parent and child
• Meet Other Teen Moms and make new friends in a teen parent group, discover ways to overcome problems, and learn more about yourself and your baby too
• Access Community Resources by helping you identify sources for food, clothing, transportation, housing, child care, and other needed resources
• Work Toward Self-Sufficiency by helping you identify and then work toward the dreams and goals you have for yourself and your child

The Young Parent Support Services program of Family Service Center of Sangamon County provides support to teen parents so they are not alone as they face the joys and challenges of parenting. For more information, please call us at
