by Graham, Carolyn N., D.Min., UNITED THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY, 2007, 155 pages; 3322437

Abstract:

The purpose of this project was to awaken the dormant spirituality of 10 teen mothers in the District of Columbia's foster care system by linking them to Black women of faith. The researcher utilized a pro-active research methodology that was both qualitative and quantitative, and consisted of personal observations and experiences as an administrator; administering the Developmental Asset Profile (DAP) survey to assess participants' internal and external assets; focus group discussions, and experiences that linked women of faith with the teen mothers through church and community exposure. The summary conclusions demonstrated a need for the project.
