The ACT Program is administered by the Monterey County Health Department and provides in-home case management service to pregnant and parenting adolescents under the age of 19 who reside in Monterey County.
Case managers are social workers, public health nurses and community service aides.
Program focus is on assisting the adolescent in setting and achieving goals, especially in the areas of family health care, school, parenting and family planning. Siblings of the teen parent participants between the ages of 11 and 17 are also eligible for case management service focusing on the prevention of early sexual activity and teen pregnancy.
