It is Friday, seven o’clock afternoon and I am walking from the Medford train station in Massachusetts towards Dunkin Donuts on Medford Square to meet Donna Scovell, the program coordinator of healthy family services of the Catholic Charity. I see black Nissan pulling up in front of me. Behind the steering wheel I see women in her fifties waiving her hand on me very warmly. I new it is her, Donna Scovell, the person I am waiting for.

As a program coordinator of healthy family services of the Catholic Charity she oversees five people who are involved with actual direct care while she works with them on one on one supervision and discuss the actual case. She is also most likely involved with an administration work like developing policies and guidelines. She also has to attend the team meetings with department of social services and school departments. Scovell as a program coordinator says that the goal of the organization is to prevent and neglect teen mothers. The organization is based on a national level and works with various groups based on recommendation from hospitals and schools. The purpose of the organization is to develop positive parent skills, where organization has to search for the family profile of the patient.
