Young Parents Support Program

Young Parents Support Program Our Groups:
- Pregnancy Group
- New Parents Group (Newborns up to 12 months)
- Young Families (Children 12 months to 5 years.)

At the Young Parents Support Program (YPSP), we facilitate support and programs that are tailored to the needs of young pregnant and parenting families on the Sunshine Coast. The program offers a safe space for parents up to 25 years of age to engage in activities that strengthen their ability to parent, to access information and support in the community and build networks. Families are supported

to work towards goals which will help them reach their full potential.

*Group Support*
At YPSP we offer group programs, facilitated by trained staff where young parents can connect with other young
parents and gain knowledge through expert guest speakers. Groups run for approximately 8 week blocks, with limited spots available. If you or someone you know is interested in attending our groups, make contact with the program to enquire so we can provide additional information regarding entry, dates and times.

*Individual Support*
Individual support is available for young pregnant and parenting families with additional goals, in a flexible manner that is individualised. This can include outreach support, advocacy and connection to other services. We work to provide emotional and practical support including budgeting, skills development and share information that will empower Young Parents to reach their goals.

Adjusting to parenthood can be challenging, in many ways! However something we don't talk about enough before the birth of a baby, is how we may need to adapt our usual ways of communicating and supporting our partner after the baby arrives. Understanding the needs of our partner after such a big change, takes time, commitment and lots and lots of practice!

"One of the biggest challenges for me during the perinatal period was communicating with my wife." - Read Owen's story below as well as explore some simple ways to reconnect with your partner.

Becoming parents can feel really challenging. You may find your usual styles of communicating and supporting each other don’t work as well as they used to.
