Young parent support groups encompass the principles of mutual support, parent leadership, and personal growth - which are proven in supporting the development of critical protective factors. Group educational units reinforce healthy parenting behaviors focusing on important topics such as child development, job readiness, money management, family nutrition, healthy relationships, family planning, stress management, and child guidance. Breakout sessions for young fathers focus on topics specifically related to their parenting role.
