Take some time to think about whether or not you want to have a baby some day, and when it would be best for you to do that in your life. If you plan ahead, you will have a better chance of finishing school and meeting your work and career goals. To find a family planning site in your area, you can go to the Department of Health website, www.health.state.ny.us/community/pregnancy/family_ planning/program_sites.htm or ask your caseworker, facility case manager or community case manager to help you find a family planning site near you.
