Te Aroha Noa has started a new initiative to work with teen parents, aged between 13 and 20 years who have or will be having a child. This is a great opportunity for Te Aroha Noa to provide young parents a supportive and safe place to belong and grow potential for themselves and their family.
We offer group sessions where teen parents come together with their children to meet others; We also focus on individual times where support and vision can be created to achieve young parent's dreams. There is advocacy and support available with a focus on the health, educational and social needs of young parents and their families. This happens in a fun, exciting and new environment with great activities and food.
This is a place where young parents can call their own, to share their ideas and voice their opinions in a safe and supported space.
Rebecca Conway is the Coordinator for this initiative and would love to hear from you if you have any questions about this exciting new initiative. Rebecca can be contacted by the following:
