How we can support you
Whether you want to talk to someone privately, meet other younger mums, or just figure out your next step – well meet you where you’re at.
Weekly Younger Mums Group
A welcoming weekly space to connect with other younger mums, have a cuppa, and get support with the stuff that can feel overwhelming.
1:1 Individual Support
Prefer something private? We offer one-on-one support by phone or in person and provide guidance, and help working through what’s next.
Music Program
A music program designed exclusively for younger mothers and their babies, in collaboration with the renowned Bluebird Foundation.
Supporting Younger Mums in Our Community
We’re a Geelong-based not-for-profit created by a small group of local women who understand how quickly life can feel overwhelming when you’re pregnant or raising a child — especially when you’re doing it younger. We know the love is there, but so are the pressures: money stress, housing uncertainty, relationship changes, mental load, isolation, and the feeling that you have to keep it all together even when you’re running on empty.
We connect younger mums with practical support options and a community that genuinely cares. That might look like help finding the right services, navigating what you’re eligible for, or support that eases day-to-day pressure so you can focus on yourself and your child.
Our exciting van news
Worried about getting here? Don’t be! Our Empowerment Challenge (TEC) van is here to help. If you’re a younger mum without access to transportation, we’ve got you covered. Designed to cater to the needs of younger mums, our van is fully equipped with a child seat, making pick-ups and drop-offs convenient for those facing transportation challenges. No one should miss out on the chance to connect, learn, and grow – our mobile van ensures inclusivity and support for all.
Keeping it real stories

When barriers stack up, younger mums shouldn’t have to face it alone. A donation to The Empowerment Challenge helps provide the support, connection, and opportunities that make a difference.
