Our Mission:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The TAPSS program partners with young parents as they discover the possibilities for their futures as individuals and parents, nurturing life skills and self-efficacy in the context of trusting and safe relationships.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1551370985585{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Program Description:<\/h4>\n

TAPSS provides home-based, comprehensive and intensive supportive counseling and case management for any young parent (male or female, individually and as couples) who resides in Monroe County, is pregnant or parenting, and is under 22 years old. The services are highly individualized and provided in a relationship-based, trauma-informed and culturally responsive manner that highlights a partnership between the staff and the teen parent (s). Weekly support groups and periodic special group events including zoo trips, college tours, picnics, and holiday celebrations are an optional component.<\/p>\n

TAPSS supports the teen parent family by offering services directed toward the teen parent\u2019s personal development and goals<\/strong><\/em>, the teen parent\/child relationship<\/strong><\/em> and the child\u2019s health and developmental needs<\/strong><\/em>. Services that focus on the teen parent may include counseling and case management support with relationships, housing, finances, child care, education and employment, self-efficacy and personal goal setting. Services focusing on the parent-child relationship may include parent-child play activities and counseling with a focus on attachment as well as information and support to promote a full understanding of the relationship between child development and parenting strategies. Services directed to the child may include developmental screening, general health screening, and parent-child play\/interaction experiences. Referrals often center on basic needs, child care, domestic violence, mental health counseling, early intervention, education and employment, housing and medical services.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”18068″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”middle” parallax=”content-moving” parallax_image=”17882″ css=”.vc_custom_1553734830779{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1551400523156{padding-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_inner section_typo=”section-typo-light” width=”3\/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”How to Refer” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:40px|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff|line_height:56px” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1551398354155{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}” el_class=”text-uppercase line-bottom line-bottom-theme-colored1″][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Referrals can be made easily in a number of ways!\u00a0 Young parents can call or email the Program Supervisor inquiring about services for themselves or a helping professional can call or email over a completed Referral Form. If we are unable to provide the service for any reason, we will help figure out an alternative resource and support connection to that resource.<\/p>\n
