The WIC Program

My main focus is on teenage pregnancy. The WIC program is something that can be extremely helpful. WIC if for mothers during pregnancy and up to 6 weeks after you give birth. You can get WIC for your child for their whole first year. This will help with the formula. After that you get it until the child is 5 years old. When you get it after they are one you get regular milk, juice, cheese, eggs, and stuff like that. You benefit because you and your child are getting nutrional value, and screening and referrals to other health and welfare services. This program is only given so much to work with. I think this could be something very beneficial to young pregnant teenagers.
