Where Fathers Go For Help

Click Here to hear Deb Smolsky talk about options for teen parents. 

Being a teenage parent is frightening. Thankfully, there are resources available for both teenagers and older adults. Locally, Muncie clinics provide a variety of options for new parents to choose from. 

In addition to pregnancy and counseling centers, Ball Memorial Hospital has an Open Door Health Center located at 905 South Walnut Street. They offer family planning services, mental health therapy and various medical services for children and parents.

Parents also have the option of applying for Hoosier Healthwise, an insurance program for Indiana children from low-income families. Women have the option of applying for Women Infants and Children as well.
