InSPIRE Campaign 2015-16PRESENTED BY BVK 2/10/15

Background on InSPIRE The InSPIRE funded schools work in local coalitions to improve coordination of services among schools, public and private social services and health, family planning, child care, higher education, sexual assault and domestic violence, adoption, nutrition , housing, employment and faith-based organizations.

Flexible programming that addresses and is responsive to their new role. New and different way to interact with school than they have experienced in the past.

Wisconsin is among 17 projects receiving Pregnancy Assistance Funding to improve the lives of expectant and parenting teens, women, fathers and their families.

What is it?•Challenge: Reach out/communicate with target before they drop out

•Key Message: Graduating from high school (getting your diploma) is important for your future and the future of your child. If you are pregnant, are already a teen parent in high school or have already dropped out, the InSPIRE program is here to help you.

What is it? (Con’t)•Core consumer truth: For some teens, there is a sense of “shame” for being pregnant (getting someone pregnant) or that they will be “shamed” by faculty/fellow students.

• For students in other cultures (primarily in the African American community and somewhat in the Hispanic community) pregnancy is more of a “badge of honor” but teen parents may drop out because they are unable to juggle parenthood with their school work, in addition to working.

• Motivators: Making a better life for their child than they had. Being a good parent. Connecting with others in their situation. Being treated like adults. Feeling like they have control of decisions.

•What we want the target to feel: Hopeful. We want them to feel that there is a resource for them to turn to that will help them be able to make the right decision for themselves and their baby – that they have a choice and they can do this.

•Action we want the target to take: We want them to reach out to the INSPIRE program/contact their district so they know who they are and can give them the right support for the situation.

How was it developed?•Pulled research on pregnant teens/teen parents - assessing their needs and compared to what InSPIRE offers • Determined where we can reach target, bvk had researched in past for
