Title: Shifting the narrative on teen pregnancy and parenting: Putting a strength-based perspective into practice
Session Description: Researchers, service providers, and policymakers have typically taken a deficit-based approach to understanding teen families, emphasizing the consequences, problems, and risks of teen pregnancy and parenthood, and focusing more on preventing teen pregnancy than on effectively supporting teen families. This perspective does not leave space for recognizing and building on the strengths and resilience of teen families. Drawing on a program of research with teen parents conducted through a partnership between the University of Alberta and the Terra Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, this session will discuss how to put a strength-based perspective into practice when working with teen families.
