I am currently studying to be a high school teacher (science and maths), and I would love to be able to use my childbirth education qualifications/ experience in whatever school I go to maybe develop something. I am hoping to do my final 6 week prac in a school which has a program for teenage mums - in the hope that I can work in the program (as well as doing the science/ maths).
Luckily the new Curriculum Framework in WA is extremely flexible in terms of how curriculum can be delivered - so this should help.
Sally can fill me in when she gets back.

Hi Tracy! We met in Noosa at the Birth Issues Conference - remember?
Glad to hear your Core of Life program is going so well. Yes, the issues are the same in WA, and it would be WONDERFUL to have it running here somewhere (everywhere!). The consumer support group for my local area, the Peel Region, called Pregnancy Resources & Midwifery Support Group (PR&MS) have raised their concerns about the prevalence of teenage pregnancies. We/they have started a general education program covering Labour & Birth, Spiritual birth & alternate therapies, breastfeeding, newborn care, and caesarean birth & VBAC in separate sessions. It's already a fairly big program for a small group, but getting good 'reviews', and numbers growing steadily. (Have a look at my website www.birthjourney.com <http://www.birthjourney.com> and select the PR&MS page to find out more). I'm sure "Core of Life" would be an ideal program to address the teenage issues also. Could you send me an info pack, particularly your requirements/advice about time required for presenters to prepare etc. so I can pass it on for consideration by PR&MS. We may need to apply for a grant to pay for the program, depending on the cost?
Say hello to Sally W. if you see her in her travels. Best wishes, Lois

Hi Tina, We are midwives working on the Mornington Peninsula in
Melbourne and we have just seen this email. We have designed a
program which is now spreading statewide which educates adolescents
aboutthe realities of Pregnancy Birth and Early Parenting its called
the Core of Life. We have also started to have contacts from other
states. If possible it would be great to catch up for a chat to see
if the issues are the same in WA and if you think there might be a
place for this form of education there.
Look forward to hearing
Tracy Smith
