Lots of Choices

Upon learning she’s pregnant, a woman knows she’ll be making a lot of decisions. That can mean increased stress in her life, especially if she already faces financial challenges, difficulty accessing good medical care, and relational issues. These factors can complicate prenatal care and parenting and increase the chances of risky behavior like smoking and drinking.  Young Family's Program can help you review your goals and make positive changes.

If a client is pregnant and smokes, drinks, or uses other substances, the baby’s health can suffer. Now is a good time to consider reducing or quitting tobacco use. Changing habits may be a challenge, but it’s easier with support — and Young Family’s Program is here to provide that.
