Abstract

Pregnant and parenting teens aging out of foster care, and their children are high-risk groups that require access to comprehensive services. Using a resilience framework, this study examined one mechanism to serve the population: maternity group homes. Despite interest in meeting the needs of these young families, little is known about maternity group home services and the impact for mothers and their children.
