| The Teenage Pregnancy and Parenthood Project is a response to the health needs of both young people and young parents in the SRB6 area. The project is managed by Brook and delivered in partnership with Oldham Primary Care Trust and provides a dedicated Health Visitor for young parents in the area who through links with the Midwife at the Royal Oldham Hospital works specifically with teenage parents and also with other young people's services such as Connexions and Brook. The second aspect of the project is the provision of health information and advice services including sexual health, drugs, alcohol and healthy lifestyles. This is provided by Brook and whilst a number of outreach venues have been piloted, the majority of young people from the area have preferred to access Brook’s services at is town centre venue on Union Street. Health information is also provided by Brook’s Education Outreach Team in partnership with a number of other organisations including the Youth Service and Connexions. This has been delivered in Youth Club settings and on the ‘Chill-inn’ Bus. | .jpg)
