This paper focuses on the identification of the factors associated with the productive and unproductive use of supportive and therapeutic services by high‐risk teen parents. Referral and treatment data were analyzed and discussed, as were two case studies. The importance of family support and family relationships to the use of services is highlighted in both the statistical and clinical data. Treatment implications are discussed.
