JNA Consulting of Crystal Lake teaches YSB young clients about personal planning and skills for success

 

 Rick Reece, CEO of JNA Consulting, spent 3 hours with the young clients of YSB leading a motivational workshop called "Achieve Your Dreams." This workshop involved education and information on planning and mastering success skills. The participants were from the YSB T.A.M.I. program. This JNA workshop cost is typically $125.00 per person, but was donated to YSB by JNA.  Approximately a dozen T.A.M.I. group members attended to learn. They talked about the importance of goal setting and planning for success

 

T.A.M.I. stands for teenage mother's initiative program. It is for teenage parents to receive support, education, information and linkage to community resources. The YSB T.A.M.I. program runs every Tuesday at the First Presbyterian Church in Woodstock and all pregnant or parenting teens are invited to attend. There is no cost for this program. For more information on T.A.M.I. contact YSB at 815.338.7360.
