Young Parents Support
Young Parents Support (YPS) is a home-based program serving pregnant and parenting young adults (up to the age of 23) and their children. Using a strength-based model, YPS home visitors work closely with young families to assess needs and offer a wide range of targeted supports intended to promote the healthy development of children, as well as the overall stability, independence, and health of young parents.
The program also provides case management services, assisted referrals, accompaniments, and developmental screenings for preschool-aged children.
