Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Teens

May is National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month, and we have the opportunity to join national partners and advocates in promoting a shame- and stigma-free approach.

As service providers, research professionals, educators, and adult allies, it’s important for us to be aware of the environment we create and the messages we are sending about teen pregnancy and parenting, and move toward a judgment-free space where we are empowering rather than shaming.

Supporting young people, including teen parents, has been part of our 50-year history at the Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles with our health care services, therapy, case management, workshops, and support groups. One of the Division's programs, Project NATEEN, hosted its annual Mother's Day celebration for clients and their families where some participated in the photo campaign. Our team proudly supports initiatives such as #J4YF and #NoTeenShame by sharing these principles from Justice for Young Families and sharing messages of positivity from Teen Mom NYC.

“Pregnant teens have the right to be happy about their pregnancy.”

“We claim pregnant and parenting youth as vital members of our communities and society at large -- members whose health, rights and dignity are to be defended.”

“We uphold the self-determination and dignity of young people, and respect their decision-making, including their decision about whether or not to become parents.”

“Dear teen parent, know and protect your parental rights.”

“You are brave. Trust your instincts. You will get through the hard parts.”

"Your child loves you for who you are. Be proud of yourself.”

“Dear teen parent, your parenthood is not the problem. Society’s judgmental ways are.”

“Remember: all of your hard work is worth it.”

“You are doing great! Being a teen parent is hard but you’re doing great!”

“You are worthy of all types of stigma and shame-free support.”

“All young people deserve the right to comprehensive sexual health education and access to quality sexual and reproductive health services.”
