Supporting Teenagers with Education Mothering and Mentoring

This is a program being run in Queensland to support pregnant girls and young mothers in a safe, non-judgemental environment with individual support plans developed by trained case managers.
Each girl will be given the opportunity to develop Lifeskills, Parenting, Self Worth, Healthy Relationships, Pre and Post Birth Plans.  In Partnership with Education Queensland, TAFE and the University of the Sunshine Coast, girls will be able to engage with learning pathways towards certified outcomes.  All girls are given the opportunity to develop their Mothering Skills through access to a variety of experts involved in Materntity Services, Breastfeeding and Child Health.   Girls are individually matched with carefully selected and trained mentors.
This is an interesting project something totally different from others that have been run for young women.
