A WSTC nurse assists young women (ages 12-23) who are pregnant, postpartum and/or parenting a baby. The goal is to help the client maintain her health and a stable outlook for the future. This is accomplished through a variety of services depending on the need of the individual client. A WSTC staff person can meet with a client in her home (see brochure), at school or another convenient site. Classes may be taught at various community locations.

The West Suburban Teen Clinic nurse may provide:

individual assessment of the client's needs
development of a life plan for self sufficiency
pregnancy and childbirth preparation information
parenting information
help determining & maintaining an adequate support system
support, assistance and advocacy in helping the client access community and public health resources
collaboration with the client's other support services/ providers
referral to mental health services or other support agencies as needed

The program is free to the client.

BECOMING is funded by the Positive Alternatives grant from the MN Department of Health.
