Supporting Young Parents with STARS
NPHF’s STARS (Supporting Teens Achieving Real-Life Success) program offers young parents relevant skills and valuable resources to achieve self-sufficiency. Our comprehensive curriculum navigates the practical challenges of parenthood, better equipping them to build healthy lives for themselves and their children.
The STARS class is an excellent opportunity for young parents to learn new perspectives on health, parenting, interpersonal skills, conflict resolution and more. There’s a chance for real impact as the content and discussion may not be found at home or in school. Young parents who attend the STARS class are always pleasantly surprised by the experience.
