2014, Children and Youth Services ReviewCitation Excerpt :Improved relationships with family members may also facilitate the establishment of respite services (e.g., support through caregiving, breaks to run errands), which allows the teenage mother to cope with the stresses of parenthood and spend time developing their own skills and ambitions for future success. Additional support from a mentor (Rowen, Shaw-Perry, & Rager, 2005) or family member, such as a grandmother, is considered greater if the person providing support does not feel pressure associated with service and care giving overload (Voran & Phillips, 1993). Adolescent mothers' ability to avoid poverty and improve their socioeconomic circumstances may be a proxy for facilitating greater income to achieve family stability (Dehlendorf, Marchi, Vittinghoff, & Braveman, 2010) and a safer and more nurturing home environment (Sullivan et al., 2011).
