Case Study: Teen Parent Connection

Carolyn has been a part of Teen Parent Connection for 16 months. Carolyn previously worked as a school social worker in Chicago for three years. During that time she worked closely with teen parents. Meanwhile, Carolyn is a Family Support Worker within the Healthy Families Program at Teen Parent Connection. This means, Carolyn spends most of her time visiting teen parents and their children in their own home environment. During home visits Carolyn provides information, fun activities, and overall support to the parents and their children. Carolyn knows she is doing her job when parent’s show gratitude to not only her but to Teen Parent Connection as a whole for receiving immense support and help. Life for Carolyn may be busy right now but in
November it will become even more hectic when Carolyn and her husband welcome their twin boys into the world!
