What We Do
— We Present Choices
Unplanned pregnancy can be very scary. Clear, timely information can lead to a better understanding so that our clients can make an informed and empowered decision! We provide free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and STI testing and treatment, and walk beside our clients to help steer them on a healthy path for all involved.
— We Emphasize Prenatal Care
When a pregnant client begins working with us we focus on prenatal care. This includes making sure she goes to the doctor, providing gas cards for transportation, and teaching classes on what to expect when you are expecting.
As she gets closer to her due date. we help her to be as well prepared as possible for labor, delivery and caring for a newborn. From our safe sleep classes to creating a birthing plan, we stand beside our client as she enters this new phase of her life.
— We Educate
Our comprehensive services encourage early entry into prenatal care, improve maternal nutrition and encourage reduction of alcohol and tobacco use during pregnancy, thereby improving the health of mother and baby.
We work with our clients individually to determine the best goals and most effective strategies for that person and his/her situation. Our clients attend weekly classes with case management and access to our registered nurses.
— We Strengthen
Once Baby arrives, new parents need even more support. Many of our clients do not have good parenting role models, so we fill that gap for them. Our curriculum covers topics such as bonding with your baby, taking care of yourself, breastfeeding, how to handle/bathe/feed your baby, and child development throughout the first year.
— We Help Dads too
FATHERS ARE IMPORTANT TOO.
At PLL we believe that the father’s role is very important, regardless of whether he and the mother are still in a relationship. We have a Man2Man program where experienced dads help new dads to understand their role, work out a parenting relationship, and learn how to discipline lovingly. These young men are also our clients and participate in the “earn while you learn” program.
