Teenage parents
Developed under the Safer Communities Initiative, our housing-based teenage parent services have expanded to include outreach and resettlement support to young parents and their children in London and the Midlands.
We provide practical outcome based support and emotional assistance to over 46 teenage parents. We also have substantial experience of working successfully with young people and teenage parents who have additional support needs such as offending, substance misuse, domestic violence or homelessness.
We currently offer the following:
- high quality, specialist schemes for teenage parents, designed to provide a balance between independent self-contained accommodation and onsite training and support facilities
- flexible floating support services set up to meet the needs of teenage parents and their children
- inter-agency working with local health/social welfare agencies and the development of peer support networks, to provide a holistic service to young parents and their children, enabling long-term independence within the community.
