Q: What’s that stroller for?
A: Our 2-Generation Program!
2023 was the first full year that our 2-Generation program was serving youth year-round! Love146’s 2-Generation Program is aimed at supporting young survivors who are becoming parents themselves. Many of the youth in our Survivor Care Program come from families and communities that have endured intergenerational trauma. By breaking cycles and reducing risk for the next generation, we create a lasting impact and work towards realizing a generation free from trafficking. Our 2-Generation Program focuses on ensuring that these parents have essential knowledge about healthy attachment, physical safety, and early childhood development. We also support these new parents by connecting them with resources and assistance, like appropriate childcare, health care, and nutrition education. Because we have developed trusting relationships with these youth, they can turn to us, confide in us, and are open to hearing our guidance as they build the new set of skills required for parenthood.
