This course is for practitioners working with young parents. It will help them to understand the issues facing young parents, and consider the most effective ways to support these young people from pregnancy to parenthood.

The course covers:  

• The issues which can affect young women who are pregnant and the fathers (partners) in their decision on whether to continue the pregnancy
• The issues which may help or hinder young people’s ability to cope with pregnancy or parenthood
• The concerns about the potential poor outcomes for children of teenage mothers.
• Enabling young people to explore their feelings about pregnancy and the decisions they face.
• The types of information and range of support that these young people may require to improve outcomes for them and/or their children
• How and when to access local arrangements for providing co-ordinated support for these young people within the boundaries of own role and remit.

Optional Credits:
Participants can attend this course as a free-standing training day or for an additional charge, choose to gain credits for this unit from ABC Awards. A work book with portfolio building support and an assessment interview will be provided as part of this package.
