Parenting Network, along with its community partners continue efforts to reduce teenage and unintended pregnancies in Tulare County.

Staff provide informational presentations to teens outlining the risks associated with teenage pregnancies and discussing the damaging effects smoking, drugs, and alcohol can have on an unborn baby.

In addition, staff provide support and information to teen parents through home visits, group home visits, and support groups around the county.
