We also assist with education and information on childbirth education, breastfeeding, infant feeding, job training, emotional wellness, and health & nutrition. Our Mission is to transform the lives of at-risk pregnant women, so they will deliver healthy babies, embrace positive parenting, and establish safe homes and secure futures. Our Vision is that every woman would see her pregnancy as a catalyst for positive change. By building on her strengths, she will choose health, see hope for her future, and give back to her family and her community.
