Young parents need extra tools and resources to take care of their babies and themselves. As a steadying force and safety net, Bright Beginnings equips two generations at once, setting you and your kids up for long-term success.
"Because of the work I did with FamilyWise, I am trusting of people, I'm more confident, and I'm the best parent I can be." - Bright Beginnings participant Diamond, mother of Mason
Our Bright Beginnings Young Parent Program includes one-on-one support from FamilyWise staff, young parent education groups hosted at partner locations, and mentoring for pregnant and parenting youth and young adults. Across these services, young people are matched with caring, supportive adults that help youth build stability and resiliency as parents and in their lives more broadly.
