Supporting Teen Families (STF) is designed to provide intensive, family-centered services to pregnant and parenting teens and their families across Milwaukee. The teen parent is the nucleus of this program with case management and parenting services being offered to the teen mother and baby, her parent (or another support person), and the father of the baby. This family-centered multigenerational approach has a greater impact on the family as a whole with a greater chance for long-term goal completion, strengthening of the family and reduces child abuses and neglect. This program began in October 2005.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT

Families United to Prevent Teen Pregnancy (FUPTP) working with youth aged 12 to 18, FUPTP promotes abstinence until marriage by utilizing our nationally recognized curriculum that helps to develop healthy life skills. FUPTP is held as a daily after school program and as an 8-week summer program. In addition, thousands of youth receive presentations on our curriculum topics. We also created Milwaukee Alliance For Teaching Abstinence (MAFTA), a coalition of agencies that utilize the FUPTP curriculum and help to promote abstinence until marriage throughout Milwaukee County.
