Teenage father spreads the word to other teenage fathers in Connecticut.
There are not many programs for teenage fathers to turn to in Bridgeport, Connecticut, but a man who used to be a teenage father himself is working to change this. Manuel Cardona would like to improve the lives of this generation of teenage fathers. Teen fatherhood is associated with many risk factors, including delinquency and drug use. However, Manuel Cardona knows that with a little caring and counseling he can help diminish some of the risks facing these young men. Through teen parent services, counseling, educational enrichment and job search assistance, these young fathers are able to move their lives in a different direction.
