M.O.D.E.L.S. Parent Support Groups

M.O.D.E.L.S. (Moms or Dads Enhancing, Learning, Sharing) is a mutual self-help support group designed to assist with challenges of everyday life faced by pregnant/parenting teens and young moms ages 14-21. We provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for parents to share their successes and hardships in parenting. Our group aims to strengthen families, encourage parents, and build character.

What to expect:
Parents who attend the M.O.D.E.L.S. Parent Support Groups can expect to connect with group members. When parents need help with community resources, the group leader will help connect them to local community resources that will help meet their needs. Parents will also be enrolled in a Baby Bucks incentive program where they can earn baby bucks through group attendance to shop for baby supplies after group meetings.

 


HOW TO APPLY

This program helps Cabarrus County residents who are 14 to 21 years old and have children aged 0-5.
