Produktbeschreibung
Supporting Young Parents explores early pregnancy and decisions made by young parents in care and care leavers when they discover they are expecting a child. Much discussion on teenage pregnancy and parenthood focuses on negative consequences for teenagers and their children, but there are also advantages of early parenthood for some young people, such as developing a sense of responsibility and family security. This book draws on authoritative research on initiatives designed to support young parents in care, and also takes into account the personal views of these young parents. It offers understanding of young people in care and explains how to provide the best possible support through a range of comprehensive services, such as shared priorities between local services and well-resourced youth services. This book will be essential reading for community nurses, health visitors, social workers, academics and students working in the fields of health, education and social care.
This book draws on authoritative research into the reasons for and experiences of pregnancy and parenthood among young people from local authority care. It questions the assumptions that early parenthood always limits young people's choices and opportunities and examines the types of support most likely to enable successful parenting.
