Parenting education in marginalized areas of Târgu Mureș Municipality
In a social context where more and more cultural movements are emerging, parenting today is a challenge, especially for those who grew up and developed in dysfunctional family environments. For these reasons, parenting education has become a necessity so that parents acquire new skills in communicating with their child.
In order to meet the needs of young people or future parents from vulnerable social backgrounds, the other day we carried out a parental education activity on the phenomenon of early motherhood, with the aim of developing their skills, but also to prevent gaps between generations.
The action targeted, among others:
- effective information to prevent unwanted teenage pregnancies, especially among those from disadvantaged families;
- Identify cases of underage mothers in all vulnerable communities in the municipality;
- Supporting identified teenage mothers to improve access to social and medical services and to provide support in the form of necessary supplies for newborns;
- to carry out informational and educational activities for all categories of disadvantaged population in order to raise awareness of the impact of early motherhood.
On the other hand, lack of sex education and poverty are determining factors in the phenomenon of underage mothers.
