It has been said that you need more training to get a driver's license than to be a parent. Our "earn while you learn" Options Program teaches expectant mothers about nutrition, smoking, infant care and other useful topics related to her pregnancy. It also addresses the topics of budgeting as a single parent and the option of adoption.

This 50+ component training can be customized to address the specific needs of the individual. During this time the client, whether alone or with a support person, will receive one on one counseling from a trained mentor. The counseling sessions include videos, workbooks and conversations about their challenges and what they are learning.

The clients earn points by attending the sessions and completing the homework. When they are in their 35th week of pregnancy, they can use their points to purchase layette items (including car seats, cribs and other furniture items). Clients that have chosen to place their child for adoption use their points for personal items that they need to complete their education or basic daily needs.
