The value of a safe place to learn and be supported when entering parenthood cannot be overstated.
IMPACT Community Services holds a weekly group session for young parents or soon-to-be parents to connect with one another and learn from health professionals.
IMPACT’s Positive Start Parenting Team Leader Lesley Allen said this group was aimed at providing support and education for people aged 15-19 years old.
She said information to help the young parents prepare for when the baby arrives without fear of judgement was what the group was all about.
During their first session a representative from Child Health spoke with the group about their new Pepe Pods which they can give to the parents before the baby is born.
The pods are used to enable safe, co-sleeping for parents and new-born babies.
Lesley said the session will not always be held at IMPACT, with the potential to host the group at a local park or café if it is of interest.
The young parents group meets on Wednesdays from 3.30pm-4.40pm to ensure they aren’t missing out on school.
IMPACT can also aid with transport to the sessions should you require it.
