Tuesday Young Mum’s Group is a group for young and expectant mothers aged 13 to 25.
HOW DOES IT IMPACT THE GIRLS AND WOMEN?
Firstly, it increases young mums’ feeling of self worth and self value, thus enhancing their ability to parent positively. Secondly, it connects young mothers to one another, giving them a sense of community.
