Pregnant and Parenting Youth Program (PPYP)
At Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS), our Pregnant and Parenting Youth Program (PPYP) improves the educational, wellness, and social/emotional outcomes for school-age parents—young fathers and mothers—and their children.
The goals of the program are to increase attendance and graduation rates, teen enrollment in higher education, effective parenting practices, and healthy relationship practices. The program also works to enhance coordination of school and community services.
PPYP includes the following specific services:
- Academic instructional supports for students to progress toward graduation, including home/hospital instruction for periods when the school-age parent is unable to attend school in the typical manner (maternity leave, high-risk pregnancy, etc.)
- Intensive case management to provide or facilitate access to needed resources and services
- Counseling (career and relationship)
- Nursing services
- Trauma-informed care
- Instruction on prenatal and neonatal care, child development, infant and child care, nutrition, family planning, and adoption
- Home visits
All services are available for school-age parents enrolled throughout the district.
