The Resource Mother is a community health worker who develops a supportive mentoring relationship with the teen and her family. From the prenatal period through the infant’s first birthday, the resource mother provides health education; discusses ways to prevent infant injury; models daily living skills; encourages constructive decision making and life-planning; connects the teen to community resources; and provides guidance to assist the teen in making a successful transition to parenthood. The Resource Mother has weekly contact with the teen and her family. This program uses a two-generation or three-generation approach to serve target populations. Educational and support services are also available to other family members such as the partner, the teen's parents, and the infant.
