[Hard-to-reach young mothers: study of the implementation of a pre and postnatal intervention for a clientele at risk].

This paper describes the implementation of a project to prevent the negative biopsychosocial outcomes of teenage pregnancy. The purposes of this project were 1) to reach, as early as possible, young women under 20 years, either pregnant or already young mothers, living in the downtown area of Quebec city on the fringe of society, and perceived to be at risk, and 2) to develop their capacities to take care of themselves and their children, by helping them to recognize their needs, to use adequately the available resources, and to break out of their isolation. A team from Le Centre jeunesse de Québec worked with 25 young pregnant women and 3 young mothers, over a period of 21 months. This team provided the women and their children with a continued and individualized follow-up, which allowed them to develop their autonomy.
