Nurturing POC is centered on teen/young adult parents and their babies by 1) providing resources to support their mental wellness related to parenting and provide prevention-based psychoeducation and resources on mental health-related parenting topics from a culturally sensitive framework and 2) reduce feelings of isolation by providing opportunities for teen/young adult parents to connect with others through education/support groups. We encourage all parents to take advantage of our support, especially those who have babies with developmental concerns or “diverse abilities.”
