Supporting young families
Rose of Durham
Support services to young parents and their infants in at-risk environments in the Durham Region.
Susan was 17 years old when she became pregnant. Her family had a hard time accepting the pregnancy. But Susan had a deep commitment to her unborn child and their future. She started attending counselling sessions at Rose of Durham, a program offering support and educational services for young pregnant women, young parents, and their children.
Susan met regularly with a Rose of Durham counsellor until shortly after her son was born. Recently she called to inform Rose of Durham staff that she and her son are happy and healthy. She has completed college and will be attending university in September of this year. After a year of no contact, Susan called her family and worked to resolve their issues so that she and her son have their support. The father of her son sees him regularly and they are co-parenting.
