Located next door to Regina’s Place, the Jeanne Scott Parent & Child Resource Centre supports young parents aged 18 to 25 in continuing their education while building a stable, independent future for themselves and their children. The program is open to both mothers and fathers.
In partnership with the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board, Good Shepherd operates an on-site school designed specifically for young parents. With child minding available for their babies or toddlers, students are able to focus on their education in a supportive and understanding environment. The school serves residents of Regina’s Place as well as young parents from the Hamilton community.
Students are further supported by the Regina’s Place School Liaison, who works one-on-one with young parents on goal setting, advocacy, and connecting them to community resources and support.
In addition to academic programming, participants have access to a range of supports tailored to their individual needs and goals. These programs help strengthen parenting skills, build confidence, and develop essential life skills—empowering young families to move forward with greater independence and opportunity.
