Health Services

Our Health services are designed to meet the needs of pregnant young women, young parents and their children.

Pregnant teens have access to free pregnancy tests, specialized prenatal classes, individual health counselling, and nutrition groups held onsite at Jessie’s Centre.

Many of our health services are provided onsite but we also give referrals in the community. This may include finding a health care provider if a young woman is without a doctor or midwife.

Trained and experienced Labour Support Volunteers help pregnant young women prepare for a more positive birthing experience. They can accompany young women to prenatal classes, doctors’ and midwives’ appointments. The can also offer emotional and physical comfort throughout labour as well as help initiating breastfeeding after birth.
