Parenthood in the teenage or early adult years presents particular developmental and service challenges. This paper looks at practice considerations for service providers working with young parents. It describes several factors that are important in designing and delivering services for these parents: developing a holistic understanding of the young parents’ lives and their developmental phase; being sensitive to the needs of young parents when delivering services; including young fathers; adopting a strengths-based approach; and collaborating with other local community groups and services.
