Sydney Young Parents Program

Our program helps young mums (15-25 years) to develop the skills and confidence they need to create a supportive, nurturing environment so their family can thrive.

We provide:

  • professional individual support and case management in a safe environment
  • access to parenting programs tailored for young parents
  • an opportunity to meet other young parents in a weekly playgroup

Young dads are very welcome and encouraged to attend.

Contact Good Shepherd if you would like to connect with a caseworker, learn more about the referral process, or join the playgroup.

Delivered in partnership with Launchpad Youth Community and YWCA NSW.

Good Shepherd has been awarded The Rainbow Tick for our Family Violences Services program area. We are currently working towards Rainbow Tick accreditation for our Family Services program in Victoria and Youth and Family Services program in NSW.
