The Teenage Pregnancy Support Service (TPSS) offers support to pregnant teenagers, dads-to-be and young mums and dads who are under 20 and live in the Hull area.
The TPSS is based at Conifer House, 32-36 Prospect Street in Hull. You can come along and meet an advisor there or they can come and see you, maybe at your school, home, or somewhere you feel comfortable.
Some young people get in touch with the TPSS because they just want someone to talk to in confidence, some get help throughout their pregnancy. Some just get in touch with the TPSS when they need to.
You can call to make an appointment on (01482) 336379 or come along to the TPSS all-day drop-in session on Tuesdays.
