Anaid Godoy presents at joint conference on Women's Health and Pregnancy Prevention

Anaid Godoy, graduate of the YA FAMiLiA Young Parents Program and former Youth Lead of the YA Change Team, presented at The California Wellness Foundation joint conference on Women's Health and Teenage Pregnancy Prevention on September 26th in San Jose, California. Her personal perspective as a parenting teen provided insight for the statewide leaders working to create programs and models to best support young parents. During the discussion, Anaid gave specific recommendations in working with Latinas and in rural communities. Anaid stated, "I'm here today to let you know that because of programs like FAMiLiA I graduated school, have a great job, and am a better mom."

A public health nurse from a southern california health clinic stated, "Thank you for your courageous words and advice."

The FAMiLiA Young Parents Program is grateful to have the funding of The California Wellness Foundation to continue our support of teen moms and teen dads.
