Teen Parent Program
Did you know there are approximately 1,000 pregnant or parenting students enrolled in Broward schools each year? Dedicated Teen Parent Social Workers meet with and assess the educational and psychosocial needs of these students to determine which academic placement would be most appropriate.
Sometimes, it’s in the student’s best interest to attend one of the county’s three Teen Parent Centers, which provide a variety of support services in addition to all the academic requirements for graduation. Some of these services include free day-care, door-to-door transportation, parenting and child development classes and full-time guidance and social work services.
Specialized School Social Workers in the Student Services Office deliver counseling, case management, and family support services to pregnant and parenting students who remain in their home schools. They coordinate with medical, child care, social services and mental health service agencies to ensure these students receive needed services. Parenting skills, and academic/vocational counseling are coordinated at the school sites to support academic achievement and successful high school graduation.
To access services through your home or school, call the School Social Work/Student Services Area Office.
