The state Department of Social and Health Services has received a $1M grant to develop parenting programs for teens and young adults in Washington.
DSHS’ Division of Child Support is among nine state agencies and two federally recognized tribes that were awarded grants.
Over the next three years, DSHS will team up with school districts and the Washington State Interagency Fatherhood Council to educate teens and young adults about the financial, legal, and emotional responsibilities of parenthood.
The program will help teens and young adults gain knowledge, skills, and access to resources that will help them as parents.
