Treoir CEO, Damien Peelo, talks to Connemara Community Radio about the new Young Parents Support Programme, the challenges young parents face, and the importance of evolving the programme to meet newly emerging needs
The Teen Parents Support Programme is the only targeted community-based support service for teen parents – mothers and fathers – in Ireland.
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.
The TPSP is currently available at 11 locations throughout the country. Young people may make contact directly with the TPSP or anyone interested in the welfare of the young parent and his/her child may make contact on their behalf.
TPSP staff actively seeks to engage with young fathers and encourage and support them to be involved in the lives of their children. They also provides support to grandparents and other family members who play a role in the life of the young parent.
