How We Assist You

Educational Classes
There is no better way to prepare for parenting than to learn about pregnancy, childbirth, and the care of a newborn. We offer Brightcourse, a program to help you understand the basics online.
Our classes include lessons on proper nutrition, breastfeeding, labor and delivery, infant development, and more. We want you to be a successful parent, and our classes offer the instruction to assist you.

Is Parenting Right For Me?
Only you know the best choice for you, your child, and your future. Consider some of the following questions as you consider parenting:
- Can I finish school or continue working as a mother?
- Where will I live?
- Can I afford to raise this child?
- What if my partner doesn’t want the child?
- Will I have the support of my family and friends?
- Am I too young or too old to be a mother?
All of these are essential questions to consider, and we can help you find a solution to each one.
