Prenatal Education

Young pregnant women often face numerous barriers to receiving the necessary information to prepare them for the many challenging aspects of pregnancy. Some of these barriers include:

  • a fear of speaking frankly with doctors or clinic staff
  • shame about their condition/hiding their pregnancy
  • dropping out of school

Facilitated by Toronto Public Health and held at the SYRC, this program continues to help these young women to make informed decisions regarding nutrition, health, education and employment in addition to many other relevant matters.
