Our Services
Dad's Without Mustaches is an extension of Pregnancy and Parenting Support Services to provide services for the often-forgotten young fathers in need of parenting support. The distinction is made to increase the awareness of fathers who may not be aware that Pregnancy and Parenting Support Services includes their demographic as well. 
Mommy & Me
Through an occupational therapy based lens, the Mommy & Me program will address the barriers that adolescent and teenage parents face that make it difficult for them to handle their daily occupations or tasks, especially those associated with parenthood. The program will focus on improving their parenting self-competence in childcare and participation in daily occupations such as child rearing, education, sleep, and whatever else their needs consist of. This project will help teen parents become self-competent in parental occupations and work to improve their lives holistically which will in turn improve the lives of their children. Possible sessions for this program will address time management skills, feeding/sleeping schedules for the child and parent, dressing children, participation in leisure tasks, house management, etc. It will be created and initially implemented by a doctoral occupational therapy student intern. |
"Diapers On the Move" - this is a mobile extension of the LGL Pregnancy and Parenting Support Services. Diapers and other essential baby items will be distributed at various sites throughout the Dallas/Ft Worth Metroplex at events, meetings, public gatherings, or simply to individuals in need of support. |
