Community-Based Teenage Pregnancy Reduction Projects (KSA 65-1,158) “reduce the rate of pregnancies among minors in urban and rural communities through the development of locally controlled community-based educational interventions to accomplish certain behavioral and educational objectives.” Projects strive to help teens achieve their full potential through a positive youth development approach.

There is a competitive application process for SFY 08 funds. Application guidance is attached. Applications will be accepted on or before April 5, 2007.

Teen Pregnancy Case Management Projects offer case management services to pregnant or parenting teens receiving Medicaid in an effort to improve self-sufficiency and goal formation of teens. Delaying the birth of a second child is attempted through goal counseling, peer support groups and assistance in locating and using educational, health, social service and other community resources. Case managers provide intensive support to teenagers in completing their education, seeking employment, accessing health services, and guiding them through the maze of decisions and obstacles that they face. Services continue until the adolescent leaves the program at age 21 or upon achieving goals set out in the case management plan. Projects are located in Douglas, Geary, Montgomery, Sedgwick and Wyandotte Counties.
