The Memphis Center for Reproductive Health is working with organizations throughout the community to address the growing problem of teen pregnancy in Memphis. A high teen pregnancy rate is closely linked to many of our other pressing issues including poverty, crime, failing schools, and income disparity.
 
As part of the Memphis Collaborative on Adolescent Pregnancy, Prevention and Parenting, facilitated by The Urban Child Institute, we are looking at ways to empower teens to make plans for all aspects of their future, including when or whether to have a baby.
