Young Parents Support Programme

The Young Parents Support Programme (YPSP), formerly the Teen Parents Support Programme (TPSP) is a support service, for young mothers, young fathers, and their families from pregnancy until the baby is 2 years of age.
 
We work mainly with young people who become parents when they are aged 24 years or under and support them during pregnancy and right through the first 1000 days of their child’s life. Some parents who are older than this may also be supported depending on their circumstances.
 
There are 15 YPSPs throughout the country.  They offer support, information and advocacy in all areas of a young parent’s life including health, relationships, parenting, child care, social welfare entitlements, education, training and anything else about which the mother or father is concerned.
