The FutureBound Teen Parent Program is an apartment-based independent living program that provides 24-hour comprehensive supervision and teaches concrete life skills to adolescent parents, ages 16 – 20, and is designed to help create positive outcomes for both the single parent and their young child.
Founded on empathy, learning, caring and bonding, FTPP’s Nurturing Parent Program model is trauma-informed, family-centered and evidence-based. Through this model, FTPP enhances parenting skills and prepares the residents to live on their own within the community. Teen parents have the opportunity to: 1) demonstrate positive parental engagement and attachment; 2) increase housing stability; 3) reduce repeat pregnancies; 4) become better educated; and 5) find jobs that promise economic stability. FTPP provides individual and group parenting sessions focused on educational planning, advocacy and housing services, life skills training, job training/placement, counseling and other supportive services.
