Do You Wonder If You Have What It Takes?
Most people–especially those who didn’t plan their pregnancies–question whether they have what it takes to be a good parent, to provide their child with the appropriate balance of support and discipline, love and boundaries. At Juneau Pregnancy Resource Center, we believe that education leads to preparation. The more you understand about the different stages of your child’s development, the better equipped you will be to respond to them. Becoming a mom or dad can be overwhelming, but also wonderful. Knowing what to expect ahead of time builds your confidence and your ability to parent well.
Talk With An Advocate
Our trained advocates are here to listen and talk with clients about pregnancy, childbirth, parenting, and the many life situations a parent may face. While no one has all of the answers, we are here to offer any information and encouragement we can in a nonjudgmental atmosphere.
Parenting Education
We offer short video lessons (most are between 20-30 minutes) that can be sent to your phone or email. These evidence-based courses give accurate, up-to-date information about pregnancy, birth preparation, newborn stages of development, parenting, life skills, relationships, and more. An OB/GYN reviews all pregnancy and birth lessons, pediatricians review and approve all toddler lessons, and CPAs review and approve financial lessons.
The classes give you the opportunity to learn and grow your parenting skills in the comfort of your own home. Or, schedule a time to watch and discuss a lesson with an advocate.
