SureStart Plus Advisers

SureStart Plus

Are you 18 or under?

  • Are you pregnant - or do you think you might be?
  • Is your partner pregnant - or does she think she could be?
  • Are you already a parent?

SureStart Plus could help you. It's a new initiative, which has been set up in some parts of the country - including the Tees area - to help young people. In the Tees area there are SURESTART PLUS ADVISERS or TEENAGE PREGNANCY ADVISERS who can offer free, confidential and non-judgemental advice and support to help young people make decisions about their future. The SureStart Plus Advisers and Teenage Pregnancy Advisers can also offer information about the services available - including advice on healthcare, education, benefits, housing and childcare - and can help you access the support you need.

SureStart Plus services include:

  • Help with difficult decisions
  • Free, confidential advice
  • Emotional and practical advice
  • Pregnancy testing
