Thinking About Parenting?
If your pregnancy is unexpected, the idea of parenting may feel intimidating. You may be thinking about finances, housing, relationships, school, work, or whether you can handle the responsibility. It’s normal to feel unsure, especially if you never expected to be in this position.
At Harbour Health, we offer free and confidential support for women and men who are considering parenting. Our staff understands that parenting is not just a decision; it’s a life transition.
You deserve a safe place to talk honestly about your fears, your goals, and the support you may need moving forward.
Questions You May Be Asking Yourself
When weighing your options, you may begin with questions like:
- Can I financially support a child?
- Will my partner or family support me?
- Can I continue school or keep working?
- What if I don’t know how to be a parent?
- Where can I go for help?
These questions are normal, and they don’t mean you’re failing or don’t have the support you need. You can instead use them as a guide when gathering the resources you would need.
We’re Here to Support you
Parenting can feel isolating when you’re unsure who to trust. Harbour Health provides a place where you can speak with an advocate and feel supported as you consider what this option could look like for you.
Some clients also choose to connect with a mentor for continued encouragement.
What We provide
If you decide to parent, we offer ongoing support designed to equip and encourage you throughout your journey. Services include parenting education, one-on-one mentoring, material assistance such as diapers, clothing, and baby supplies, and referrals to trusted community resources. Our goal is to help you feel confident, prepared, and supported as you care for your child.
You Don’t Have to Decide Alone
Parenting is a serious decision, but you don’t need to have everything figured out today. You deserve time, support, and accurate information as you consider your future.
