“Child, home and community (chc), a nonprofit organization, is committed to "building a better future for children" through prenatal and parenting education, support and advocacy to over 500 adolescents as well as pregancy awareness workshops to over 3,000 students each year in bucks and montgomery counties. The programs, held in 8 hospitals, clinics and 15 school districts, include prenatal education, family support groups, in-school peer support workshops, fatherhood workshops, career counseling, case management and home visits. Chc clients gain the skills and support necessary to help themselves and their families. Clients are provided the support and encouragement to finish high school and or further their education to improve their chances of steady employment. The road to independence is a web based program that uses workshops and individual case management to assist parents in their career development and placement through exploration of values, interests and career choices, combined with job readiness skills and tools to obtain and maintain a successful career leading to self-sufficiency. Chc also provides teen pregnancy awareness, decision making and prevention workshops to middle and high school students in 15 school districts throughout bucks and montgomery counties. These workshops are designed to create the awareness in the minds of non-pregnant students in middle and high school health classes about the long-term effects of pregnancy and parenting, to dispel romantic illusions of parenting and motivate teens to prevent untimely pregnancy. Chc's programs have proven successful at improving the lives of over 500 young moms and dads each year. The programs make available prenatal and parenting education and support to high risk populations that ordinarily might not have access to such services. The programs historically have reduced pre-term births, increased birth weights and decreased repeat pregnancies, all of which aid in improving the health and well-being of mothers and their children. Chc's programs have helped both young moms and dads to improve decision making and parenting skills, which has resulted in increased graduation and employment rates as well as reducing abuse and neglect for their children. By investing today in the lives of these young children, chc is growing stronger communities for tomorrow.”
