Parenting

What would happen if I want to parent?

When faced with an unplanned pregnancy, heavy hearts and frantic minds have struggled with many types of questions and fears.

  • What do I do because my boyfriend/husband doesn’t want the baby?
  • I’m too young!
  • I just can’t tell my family.
  • I have no support.
  • How will I finish school?
  • I can’t afford a child.
 

You are not alone! Our nurses and mentors have helped thousands of women, young and old, who are trying to find answers to challenging questions. No woman should feel as if they cannot make the choice to parent because they have no money, no place to live, or lack the support of family and/or friends. When faced with an unplanned pregnancy, you may also feel alone, afraid, and overwhelmed by how this choice may change your life.

Vida firmly believes that no woman should have to walk this road alone. We provide parent support services that will address many of the issues you may feel are too difficult to overcome. Vida Parent Support Services offers a mentoring program where moms and/or dads are matched up with a mentor who will support them and be their teacher. Mentors are seasoned parents. Simply put, they meet you where you are on your journey through parenting. We also work closely with other community agencies to make sure you have the help you need including financial assistance, temporary housing, maternity clothing, pre-natal education, free lactation consultation, free labor and delivery classes, mentoring, etc.
