One of the most challenging aspects of the decision to parent is overcoming the feeling that you won’t be a good parent. It is normal for women to feel this way regardless of whether they planned their pregnancy or not. If you choose to parent, we want to help you feel confident in your decision and empower you to parent successfully.
Parenting Classes
The Pregnancy Resource Centre of Jamaica offers free parenting classes so you can gain the knowledge and skills you need to care for your child properly. These fun and engaging classes will detail topics like:
- Pregnancy and childbirth
- Caring for your newborn
- Disciplining with love
- Life skills
Even if you have never cared for an infant before, these classes will address common needs and issues so that you can handle everyday parenting situations without worrying that you are doing things “wrong.”
Earn While You Learn
When you participate in our learning opportunities, you will also collect points that you can use toward items you will need to prepare for your baby. Choose from baby clothes, diapers, diaper wipes, blankets, and many more baby supplies available for free when you participate in this program. Gain the knowledge you need to parent while earning the items you will need when your baby arrives.
Fellowship
Parenting classes at the Pregnancy Resource Centre of Jamaica are also a good opportunity for you to meet and connect with other young women that are also experiencing pregnancy. Growing together during this time can create solid and lasting friendships. Parenting alongside a community of mothers can give you more support and encouragement when needed.
Parenting is a big responsibility that many young women feel unprepared for. We want to help you develop the skills you need to parent confidently. Contact us to join our free parenting classes.
