Teenage pregnancy, an emotional
and social stress! Where do I turn for
help? This dilemma is faced by thousands
o f teenagers and parents across our
country everyday. W ith the release o f
the Adult and Family Services Division’s
(A F S ’ ), “ A Guide to Adolescent
Pregnancy and Parenting Services,”
some o f the stress may be eased.
This new guide fo r adolescent
pregnancy and parenting services was
developed by Ben Talley and Ron
Bassett-Smith, AFS C hildren’s Agenda
Project Coordinators, w ith the help o f
the Volunteer Program S taff and AFS
Branch Managers throughout the state.
The firs t task was to develop a w ork
group w ith representatives from the
Student Retention Initiative (SRI), Health
D ivision, C hildren’ s Services D ivision,
Job Training Partnership A c t (JTPA),
Juvenile Services Commission, and the
Department o f Education. W orking
together, the com pletion o f the guide
became a reality.
Parents and their teenagers have a
source o f inform ation they can count on
when all types o f trouble hits home.
Teenagers w ill be able to seek help and
avoid the option many teenagers see as
their only option, such as, suicide, drugs,
or alcohol.
