Accommodation and housing support
The Supported House provides “crisis” intervention for vulnerable teen parents and their children for a specified period of time. This offers safety for both the mother and the child, a non-judgemental and nurturing environment with support services in place, an opportunity to gain homecare and life skills in preparation for independent living, the building of trusting relationships with other teen mothers and their babies, an opportunity to complete their education while retaining primary care of their babies with the added advantage of influence of positive role models and mentors.
