Course supports young mothers
A course to help and support young mums on the Peninsula will be held by Uniting Care Burnside from October 26.
The five-week Young Mum Brighter Future program will be held at the Umina Uniting Church community centre on Mondays from 11.30am to 1.30pm.
Creating a desirable life and balancing motherhood with a young woman's needs will be the themes of the course.
The Young Mum Bright Futures course will be run by Uniting Care Burnside.
"Christina McMahon will lead this course for parents to learn to communicate in a positive manner and model conflict resolution skills to their children," said church secretary Ms Annette Strong.
"The course covers other topics such as learning to meet the needs of you and your children, building a child's self esteem, looking after the whole self and putting yourself in the driving seat."
Umina Uniting Church's community centre is located in Neptune St, opposite The Umina Mall in Ocean Beach Rd.
Childcare is available for attending mums.
