Young Parents Support
HYLS provide confidential, non-judgmental, and empathetic support to young people and their families with the objective of enhancing the young person’s social development and well-being.
The HYLS has a wraparound approach with staff, working in both the formal settings of all post-primary schools in our region. Then also in the community where the service has youth workers attached to all the TUSLA Social work teams, providing out-of-hours service and residential weekends and summer activity programmes.
The HYLS place the young person at the centre of the decision-making process with the aim of allowing young people to take responsibility for their own choices and actions.
HYLS has a Young Parents Support Programme for parents under 24 who are expecting a baby or have a child. The support is available for mothers, fathers and their families. This support is free and confidential.
