Group Prenatal Care
Making an Impact: Healthy Start Convention 2015
“80% of women participating in postpartum support groups believed that their self-esteem and their problem solving ability increased as a result of their group experience.” (Cronenwett, 1980)
• Participants play a more active role in their prenatal care
• Attitude of group members can often be changed more easily through group interaction than by direct teaching of individuals.
• Individuals can be isolated; groups help build community.
• More time efficient for mom and staff • Groups are cost-effective since they
provide for an efficient use of professional time.

How has the Healthy Start program helped you? “They have helped in many ways. I’m a single parent in college with very low income. I received my baby bed, car seat, high chair, and many more things for my baby (earned with B.A.B.E. coupons).” Would you recommend the program to a friend? “Yes, I would recommend it to the world. It has been a blessing to me and my baby, Jacqueline.” What are your future goals? “My goals are to finish college and get a job in the medical field.”
Antoinette Dawson, 21, and daughter Jacqueline Dawson, 7 months Lakesha Cannon, 18, and 1 year-old daughter, Aniyah
“My name is Lakesha, and I participate in the Indianapolis Healthy Start program. It is a helpful program. They teach you to be a good mother. I think this program should be world wide due to unfit parents. I believe if they reached out to more of us, there would be less kids in the system. I would recommend this program to all teen moms.”
