Missouri Volunteer Resource Mothers (MVRM) is a
community-based mentoring program for pregnant and parenting teens that
was evaluated between 1994 and 1997 in three counties in Missouri. Over 96
teens received mentoring and the results of the evaluation showed that,
compared to a nonmentored comparison group, the mentored group that
received mentoring for at least one year had:
a) significantly reduced child abuse potential,
b) fewer infant hospital visits,
c) no repeat pregnancies,
d) greater commitment to breast-feeding, and
e) significantly reduced feelings of distress and loneliness.
MVRM is a growing program!!!
CASPP has provided technical assistance
on MVRM to 25 communities in Missouri,
as well as in 5 other States.
