YPTB - Young Parents To Be

Young mums and dads to be - YMTB®

YMTB is a comprehensive, holistic, accredited course specifically designed for pregnant teenagers; it is a unique programme which involves partners and dads-to-be in the whole pregnancy process.

Courses engage with midwives and provide access by working in multi-agency partnerships which benefit learners, YMTB projects and the NHS. Young women are keen to attend YMTB as it provides accessible antenatal care. Specifically tailored sessions enable young dads to-be to be included and prepared to help and support at the birth.

The course has units which cover:

• Antenatal development and birth
• Caring for a baby from birth to six months
• The responsibilities of caring for a young baby
• Using planning skills to make a resource for a baby
• The rights and responsibilities of parenting
