One Hope United recently received a $45,000 grant through the McCormick Foundation Fund to support its Wings/Healthy Families Illinois Home Visiting program.
The two-year grant will help the program continue to strengthen families headed by teenage parents and to help prevent child abuse. The Wings/Healthy Families Illinois Home Visiting program provides essential support services and counseling to high-risk teenage, single and other parents in Lake County as they adjust to the responsibilities of parenthood.
Targeting new and expecting parents, Wings promotes positive parent-child interaction and works to enhance family functioning, build trusting relationships and teach problem-solving skills. http://www.mysuburbanlife.com/2015/12/16/one-hope-united-receives-2-year-grant-for-teen-parent-programs/a46b1nr/
