Good Deeds Now and Morehouse School of Medicine forged a partnership in 2018 to address the critical issue of teenage pregnancy in Georgia through two pivotal grants. The first initiative, under the Replicating Evidence-Based Teen Pregnancy Prevention Programs to Scale in Communities with the Greatest Need (Tier 1B), ran from 2018 to 2020.Following the success of the Tier 1B grant, the partnership expanded through the Statewide Network among Partners for Parents and Caregivers (SNAPP), from 2020 to 2023. Good Deeds Ministry (known as Good Deeds Now) is excited to announce its partnership with Morehouse School of Medicine on two new five-year grants starting in 2023. The first is the H.E.A.T. (Health Equity for All Teens) project. The second is a parenting project designed to support family well-being and preservation. Our partnership is instrumental in both addressing the immediate needs of at-risk youth and fostering long-term, sustainable community engagement in Georgia’s public health efforts.
