The 12-Session Program

A twelve-session supportive journey for teen mothers.

Four phases. Twelve sessions. One culturally responsive circle of support, grounded in music, rhythm, reflection, and evidence-informed practice for teen mothers parenting children ages 0–9.

Music and rhythm are woven throughout every session as gentle, embodied tools for regulation and stress reduction.
