Pregnancy Tests
If you have had unprotected sex, or have missed your period, you might be wondering if you are pregnant. The first thing you may want to do is take a pregnancy test. We offer lab-quality pregnancy testing at our center at no cost.
Ultrasounds
If you are pregnant, an ultrasound will help determine how far along you are. We offer limited obstetrical ultrasound to prove the viability of pregnancy. Services are free and confidential.
Pregnancy Mentoring
Be informed on all of your pregnancy options. When a woman is facing an unexpected pregnancy, she may want information on abortion, the abortion pill, adoption, etc. It is very important that women receive accurate information in a safe environment. We are here to answer your questions and direct you to the appropriate resources. Services are free and confidential.
Pre-Natal Classes
One-on-one mentoring sessions, helping moms and dads understand what is happening with the changes in moms body, how the baby is developing each trimester, and preparing for labor and delivery.
Parental Education
Our parenting classes are one-on-one mentoring sessions, designed for all expecting moms and dads to provide the basic fundamentals of parenting, or parents/grandparents of older children looking for more tools. Pregnancy, childbirth, child development, parenting skills, and more are the focus of these sessions.
Lactation Education
One-on-one nurse coaching lactation sessions to equip our moms to be successful in their breastfeeding journey.
Fatherhood Program
Our fatherhood program helps dads look at their experience with their own father, learn the skills needed to be a great dad, and better understand the important role a dad plays in the life of his children. Additionally, we will discuss aspects of the mother-father relationship as it relates to parenting.
Post Abortion Support
There is no right or wrong way to feel after your abortion. Every woman’s experience is unique. Relief, anger, sadness, and hope can all exist at one time. That may be confusing, but it’s also normal. If you’re looking for emotional support after abortion, we’re here to help.
Material Assistance
We understand that with a new baby comes the need for material resources such as diapers, clothes, wipes, cribs, and blankets. Our center is happy to help supply you with what you need as you begin this new journey into a joyful parenthood.
Abstinence Training
Abstinence education is designed to teach youth how to walk in sexual wholeness in all areas of their life – physical, emotional, social, intellectual and spiritual. Our character-based education provides opportunities for youth to develop positive traits like respect for self and others, responsibility, honesty, self-discipline, self-control, integrity, fairness, courage, etc. With these skills and traits, abstinence not only makes sense, but is a truly viable option.
Adoption Referrals
Gifting someone with a child is one of the most courageous acts someone can do. However, considering adoption can be confusing. There is a lot information to sift through. We have a network of credible and professional adoption agencies in the area to which we can refer you. In addition to a list of approved agencies, we provide free educational resources.
Community Assistance Referrals
We understand that often there is more than parenting resources that you need. We work with other local organizations to provide you with the community and financial resources that can guide you into a stable future.
