Young Parents
If you’re a teenage parent, you don’t have to try to cope on your own. Your doctor and health visitor are there to support you and there are other groups you can also turn to for help, advice and support. You don’t have to put your future completely on hold. Speak to your Connexions Personal Adviser about the range of education, training and career opportunities that are still open to you.
