The Teen Parent Service Center (TPSC) is a transitional program that works to facilitate the well-being and self-sufficiency of teen parents by providing and coordinating ancillary services to ensure that teen parents remain in school, earn a high school diploma and become productive citizens and caregivers for their children. These services support a healthy pregnancy, healthy children, and the well-being of the whole family. This holistic approach is predicated on the belief that when teen parents are healthy and feel well, and have quality childcare, they perform better academically.

The Teen Parent Service Center (TPSC) provides case management and ancillary services for teen parents.  The program’s case management model links medical, psychological and social services, the school environment, and childcare services. Students can receive counseling, enrolment in health insurance, referrals for prenatal care, WIC, and other support services based on their individual needs.  Case managers also work with school staff to ensure that students are in the right academic program, attending school, and aware of what requirements are needed for graduation. The TPSC Staff also assist teen parents currently not attending school in re-enrolling.

The program is available to teen parents (both female and male)  attending Duval County Public Schools including the PACE Center for Girls, Charter Schools, and alternative school settings.

This service is free to eligible students.
