“Healthy Babies…Responsible Mothers”

3. Healthy Babies, Responsible Mothers

4. SERVICES PROVIDED
Florence Crittenton Programs of South Carolina (FCP) serves at-risk, low-income pregnant girls and young women, one of the most vulnerable populations in South Carolina.    For 116 years, we have provided a safe haven, medical care, counseling, education and social support services to pregnant girls and young women so that they may deliver healthy babies and grow into independent, successful young adults. With our help, each young mother gains a sense of accomplishment and empowerment, and we all benefit as she becomes a self-sufficient, responsible parent and member of the community.  Most importantly, the children of these mothers are given a chance to grow up healthy, nurtured, and ready to learn.
Our Residential Program provides comprehensive services for pregnant girls and young women who struggle with a myriad of challenges and have a wide variety of risk factors, in addition to being pregnant. Services include residential care, academic education, group and individual counseling, medical care, and social support.  Our Family Development Program provides comprehensive home-based support services for up to two years to at-risk, low-income single parents with children ages five and under who live in the Tri-County area of Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties.  :

7. Progress Pending: South Carolina Teen Birth Trends
Over the last decade, there have been substantial declines in teen birth rates in both South Carolina and across the nation.
South Carolina’s teen birth rate remains much higher than the nation’s. In 2012, the South Carolina teen birth rate was 36.5 births per 1,000 females, a 47% decrease from 2002 and also the lowest rate ever recorded in the state.
Although remarkable progress has been made in reducing teen birth rates, there is still tremendous room for improvement and only time will tell if recent declines will be sustained.
