This paper describes a model for an integrated multi-agency program for adolescent mothers and their children. This program known as the Tupper Mini School was established at the Sir Charles Tupper High School in Vancouver British Colombia. Each of the 4 agencies involved (the school board the YWCA the municipal health department and the provincial social services ministry) provides financial support and is responsible for 1 component of the program: education day care health and counseling. This award-winning program is recognized for its innovative educational approach. Factors important in its success include a wide base of support on-site services established mechanisms for integration and flexibility. Some of the policies and procedures have relevance for other programs for adolescent parents and their children. (authors modified)
