Embrace Change
The core definition of embracing change refers to cultivating an attitude of accepting change as a positive development and integrating it into daily life.
The Center for Healthy Families conducted a study to ascertain the experiences and opinions of pregnant and parenting teens, teen fathers, caregivers, and organizations providing services to pregnant or parenting teens.
The major message of all the voices heard from and of the facts reviewed is that preventing teen
