Mother-Care: Empowering marginalised teenage mothers

Mother-Care was a positive parenting, mental health, and skills-based training program designed to improve the economic and social-emotional wellbeing of young mothers up to 23-years of age. 

IHO ran the program in four poor communities in Antigua and Barbuda. 50 unemployed mothers completed MC. They demonstrated improved parenting, self-esteem, and stress-management. 

Two-months post program conclusion showed 50% were either employed or enrolled in continuing.
