Teenage pregnancy

Family life is not always easy. When difficulties and problems come up and you need someone to understand your situation and offer you help and support – get in touch with SAFE (Supportive Action for Families in Ealing)

SAFE can give you information and advice and help you to access the appropriate services and support to help before a manageable problem becomes bigger and more difficult to resolve.

Our team is made up of psychologists, therapists, counsellors, pupil/ school workers, family workers and other experts. We also have links with other support groups and services in Ealing to ensure you are given support within your community and the area where you live.

Below are just a few examples of situations we can help with:

• If you are worried about your child’s behaviour, or social and emotional wellbeing
• If you are dealing with a difficult time in your child’s life
• If your teenager is experimenting with drugs or alcohol
• If you are worried about teenage pregnancy
• If you are living with a difficult situation at home
• If you are struggling to cope with financial or relationship difficulties
• If you would like advice and parenting support
