Statistics show that there are 30-40 teen pregnancies in the City of Whittlesea each year. Bumps to Bubs is a program that will offer support to teen parents and their families who are facing crisis pregnancies. Our initial focus would be on supporting young mums (13-23yrs), providing a forum where they can meet together in an encouraging environment and share their experiences, alongside supporti
ng each other. We believe every Young Mum should have access to the information, support and understanding needed to make great decisions regarding the life of herself and her child. Each week there will be a duplicate sessions, one day, one night. They will both be presented in a relaxed atmosphere, enjoying a cuppa and cake or a light meal while sharing stories and would include an educational component/activity. It is anticipated that volunteer guest speakers would be sourced for many of these sessions. Bump to Bubs runs 12 week session at a time
