Summary

Young Moms Program (YMP) is designed to address systemic barriers to the health and stability of young moms and their children such as the lack of coordination of service delivery or logistical barriers within the health system. The YMP also streamlines the referral pipeline, connecting moms to evidence-based resources, and ensuring children complete all recommended assessments prior to kindergarten.

Detailed description

This application is a community-engaged research collaboration between the non-profit Imprints Cares, the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center (WFBMC) Birth Center, and Wake Forest School of Medicine (WFSOM). This project addresses the myriad risks associated with young moms ≤ 21 years old. Because YMP is a tiered program model, services meet parents where they are through a "warm hand-off" approach that uses one-on-one consultation and assessment-based interventions.

Conditions

• Chronic Toxic Stress
• Developmental/ Behavioral Regression in Young Children
