Can I Really Parent?
All new parents have their doubts and fears when it comes to raising a child. It seems overwhelming and even impossible for some. The rewards far outweigh the challenges that come with parenting for the first time.
You may feel unsure about parenting for any of the following reasons:
- Your family/parents are not supportive.
- Work and/or school are your top priority.
- You do not have financial stability.
- You do not feel mature enough to parent responsibly.
We can help address your concerns and questions about pregnancy during your appointment. Our variety of parenting support may be the perfect resource for you if you are leaning toward parenting.
Our Free Parenting Support
Parenting Classes
If you recently found out you are pregnant but aren’t sure whether or not you are ready to parent, we can help. Our center can help prepare you for what to expect as a new parent and provide tips on effectively raising a child.
Childbirth Education
Naturally, childbirth is probably the most intimidating part of becoming pregnant, especially if you have never had a child. Our center can provide you with the education and training you’ll need so that you’ll feel as prepared as possible when that moment arrives.
Mentoring
An unplanned pregnancy can turn your life upside down in a moment and can leave you questioning how your future will unfold. Unfortunately, many people in that situation do not feel they have anyone to talk to about their predicament. We are here to talk and support you.
Natural Family Planning Classes
If you would like to know more about and start a natural form of birth control, we are here for you. Natural family planning (NFP) is a form of birth control that doesn’t involve pills or devices.
As a result, it doesn’t have side effects. With these methods, you track your fertility when you are most likely to get pregnant. You will have the opportunity to consult with a nurse about your NFP questions, get a personalized plan for you, and the support you need to know your body. Natural family planning is not contraception but a natural method of birth control.
Fatherhood
The prospect of being a father can be a challenging one, especially for those without any prior parenting experience. Our fathering classes will help you meet that challenge head-on with tips and techniques for being a successful father to your child.
Job Search Skills
If you were having trouble finding a job before finding out you are pregnant, that pressure you were already feeling can increase exponentially in a very short time. Our center is here to help you gain the employment you need, with our classes specifically for prospective employees.
