Purpose : This pilot study examined the preliminary effectiveness of the Empowered Young Parents Program (EYPP) for child welfare and/or legal system involved pregnant, expectant, or parenting youth (PPY) in promoting health outcomes. Method: A one-group pretest–posttest ( N = 25) design was used to evaluate changes in the participants. Results : At posttest participants reported lower perceived stress, depressive symptoms, and experiences of intimate partner violence. They also reported a higher likelihood of having someone to talk to about reproductive healthcare. Discussion: The study suggests the EYPP may be an effective prevention service for supporting the needs of PPY and further rigorous trials are needed
