Young Parents Programme – Romsey Mill

What to expect?

Being a young mum or dad can feel confusing, lonely and overwhelming – but it can also be immensely rewarding too! Romsey Mill’s Young Parents Programme supports young parents by offering some or all of the following:

• home visits and one-to-one support;
• antenatal classes tailored for young mums and dads;
• postnatal groups for peer support and child development;
• courses such as the Arts Award, parenting and self confidence;
• if appropriate, support to move on to further training, education & employment;
• helping find and integrate young parents into groups and activities in the local area.

It also offers one-to-one and group support for young fathers (age 25 and under) with information about becoming and being a dad; looking after babies; work, college or training; and arranging to see children if a relationship has broken down.

Judith and the Young Parents Programme team have worked with lots of young mums and dads and understand how they feel and the challenges they face.

• living in the City of Cambridge, East Cambridgeshire or South Cambridgeshire. If based elsewhere in the county, the team can help find other local support and services.
