Partners for a Healthy Baby thru the Success in School Program
The new program entitled Partners for a Healthy Baby will be administered through the Department of Social Services of Wilson, NC's Success in School Program. Success in Schools is designed to help at-risk pregnant teen mothers navigate their responsibilities to their new babies and to school to ensure that they graduate. Partners for a Healthy Baby is specifically designed to address the physical and medical challenges teens often face as well as the fact that babies born to pregnant teens often face more significant medical risks than those born to women in their twenties partially (although not exclusively) due to a lack of prenatal care.
For example, one reason teenage mothers are at higher risk during their pregnancy is their greater likelihood of developing high blood pressure "called pregnancy-induced hypertension" ("Teenage pregnancy," 2015). Their risk is much higher than that of pregnant women in their 20s or 30s. Pregnant teens also have a higher risk of preeclampsia, "a dangerous medical condition that combines high blood pressure with excess protein in the urine, swelling of a mother's hands and face, and organ damage" ("Teenage pregnancy," 2015). This is one reason why it is so essential that pregnant teens are closely monitored for any abnormalities which might occur with their pregnancy. Medications may be needed to control these symptoms. But medication is not a 'one shot' proposition: the teens must be closely monitored to ensure the drugs do not affect the developing baby's health.
Partners for a Healthy Baby help teens secure such needed prenatal care and monitoring by arranging for transportation to doctor's visits and acting as a coordinator with healthcare institutions to ensure that teens have access to affordable and appropriate medical care. Many teens are eligible for local, state, and federal financial support for their healthcare but are unaware of how to navigate the complex bureaucratic maze that can be intimidating even to an adult. Partners for a Healthy Baby provides teens with logistical support...

School Culture on School Safety Many studies have been done on safety in schools. Likewise, many studies have been done on the culture of various schools. Unfortunately, there has not been significant research on a link between the two. This is not to say that these kinds of studies have not been done, but rather that there has not been enough of them. Many of the studies that have been

Factors that affect an organization's capacity and willingness to change need to be examined and exploited. Organizational culture, which is a set of shared values and assumptions that are followed by the members of an organization, plays an important role in affecting the attitude of an organization to change. If an organizational history has been unwelcome to change in the past, it is highly unlikely that an organization will be
A favorite target for conspiracists today as well as in the past, a group of European intellectuals created the Order of the Illuminati in May 1776, in Bavaria, Germany, under the leadership of Adam Weishaupt (Atkins, 2002). In this regard, Stewart (2002) reports that, "The 'great' conspiracy organized in the last half of the eighteenth century through the efforts of a number of secret societies that were striving for
