Programme
Practical programmes: real results
Teens and Toddlers is an innovative and practical programme that significantly reduces the occurrence of pregnancies amongst participating teenagers.
Initially developed in the USA, and now running to great effect with local authorities in the UK, its success is founded on creating an environment where at risk teenagers, both male and female, can experience first hand the demands of parent-child relationships and set that in the wider context of their future life.
Each 20 week programme, catering for up to 32 teens, provides one three-hour session a week in which the teens work and play with their respective toddlers in a safe nursery environment, before going into a classroom environment to learn about and further explore their experience.
All programmes are subject to rigorous evaluation with a 'sustainability' package, allowing transfer of programme operation to fully trained local staff, also offered.
