The unique mission of “The What’s Next Sorority” (TWNS) was born from many years of my working with pregnant teens. As a certified pediatric and adolescent nurse practitioner diagnosing teen pregnancy or as a clinical nurse specialist assisting pregnant teens in their own homes or in shelters, I became acutely aware that once pregnant, the adolescent pregnant girl feels uncared for. I’ve heard girl after girl say “everybody cares about the baby and not me!” A teen-age pregnancy has the effect of interrupting and even arresting the normal pattern of adolescent growth and development –negatively impacting the teen’s present fulfillment often leaving her with subsequent unhealthy life-time consequences.
The focus of TWNS is the adolescent girl who is pregnant. Organized as a Sorority, What’s Next is uniquely designed to promote normal adolescent physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual development during the time of the teen’s pregnancy. The What’s Next Sorority intends to offer eligible adolescent girls the opportunity to feel understood and accepted; to bond together with others going through similar experience. Professionally guided, adolescents can learn from one another while having fun.
