Supporting Young Parents and Families
A best practices and resources for school professionals
Does your school district support teen parents and give them the tools they need to be successful and reach graduation? Do you understand their rights under Title IX? What are the best practices for helping pregnant and parenting students with their unique situation while encouraging them to do well at school?
Let EyesOpenIowa help you navigate these areas and help your staff provide a safe and supporting environment to encourage success for these students. Learn about best practices and how to provide a safe environment for learning that is free from shame and stigma. Let's work together to empower young families and help them to succeed!
