With a growing number of births to teen parents, there are fears government funding to a leading support agency is set to be cut.

Brave Foundation mentors young mums and dads, equipping them with the skills to cope with parenthood. @Jo_Hall9 #9News

We welcome changes to ParentsNext in #budget2023. Young parents need a separate targeted program informed directly by their lived experience.

We welcome the decision to scrap ParentsNext & establish a more flexible program to support parents. Specific support for young parents is still needed.

With that, she’s hopeful this is a profound opportunity for success.

We need to make sure no-one feels they need to do this (parenting) alone! Thank you Prof Ngiare Brown. This drives us all @bravefoundation because it’s particularly true for those who isolated or experiencing stigma #teenparents #EYS2023
