In this article Ellis-Sloan (2015) examines teenage parents use of support groups, whilst drawing upon two qualitative research projects. The findings reveal the importance of support groups as they hold multiple advantages for young parents such as, peer learning, social support and respite, which ultimately may not be possible within a one to one context. Additionally, the article draws upon the four phases of care, emphasising that a care approach needs to be adhered to when planning to support teen parents within all services. The information within the article is clearly sequenced, allowing the information and data to be understood comprehensively. Although the research has been compiled from England, it will still contribute to my research and understanding of one aspect of support need for young parents.
