Help for young parents at hand
23 FEBRUARY 2009
A collaborative project is helping young parents ease into parenthood, especially after the birth of their child. With the help of young parents in the Albury-Wodonga region, three nursing students from Charles Sturt University (CSU) and the Upper Hume Community Health Service’s (UHCHS) Young Parents Program have developed a booklet titled Young Parents Survival Guide for Pregnancy. “Young parents helped us develop a booklet that fills a gap in information and knowledge for others in the same situation. It is about what happens during pregnancy and what they can do to maintain a healthy pregnancy,” said Beverlie de Jong from the CSU School of Nursing and Midwifery. Ilena Young from UHCHS said the collaborative project worked closely with young parents to develop a resource to help others in the same situation.
