Baby Think It Over
Aim To boost young people's understanding of sexual health
Funding About £2,500 from the Big Lottery Fund

Twenty young people aged 13 to 17 took part in the seven-week scheme run by Merthyr Tydfil Housing Association. The course covered topics including relationships and self-esteem, sex and contraception, sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy.
Sessions were based in the association's headquarters in Merthyr but the course included a three-day residential in Cardiff where the young people were given realistic baby dolls to care for.
