INCLUDE

Include provides support, information and advice to teenagers up to age 19 in Leeds who are pregnant, who are mothers or think they may be pregnant.

This is done in two ways:

• one to one support, tailored to the young women's individual needs, to help them with such matters as Housing and Benefits as well as finding support in areas like healthcare, parenting skills, education and child care. However, we will try and support on whatever issue the young women feel they need support or help with.
   
• personal support and advice for teenagers who discover that they are pregnant, to help them make well-informed decisions.

We also have an ante natal group for young women who don't want to attend the usual groups for older women. It runs on Friday morning, between 11am and 1pm in the city centre and we can arrange transport.

Include also has a helpline for professionals working with young mums, or the families of young women. So if you are working with young parents and have any questions, please feel free to get in touch.
For more information about this service and our young mums group please contact Leeanne.

Include has also carried out research into domestic violence and young mums. (download more information). A resource pack has been developed as a result of this research to work with young women on healthy relationships. (For more info. download the Bursting the Bubble flier)
