HERE’S HOW THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THIS TOOLKIT:

Many pregnancies are not planned. Women may not know they are pregnant for a few weeks or months. During this time, the fetus grows rapidly and can be affected by a number of factors. For this reason, it is important for anyone who is planning to have a baby to be as healthy as possible.

This booklet for teens will guide them through six topic areas, providing them with facts and referrals, and the opportunity to respond to a series of questions that will help them to make healthy decisions, set goals, and plan for their future. Topics include: physical health, mental health, reproductive health, relationships, family health history, and their future.

This toolkit is also available in French, and as a fillable PDF in English and French, through the Best Start Resource Centre website.
