Offering young parents support and guidance with child rearing skills while they transition to independent living.
Marymound’s Young Parents Program provides young parents and moms-to-be with hands-on assistance in raising their child(ren).

and post-secondary planning, employment, money management, health, and navigating community and mental health resources. All while developing their interpersonal, communication, and relationship building skills with one-on-one facilitators.
