Our Services

 

 

The Caris Approach®

We are passionate about providing emotional support and practical resources to women facing unplanned pregnancies, because without these things, we’ve learned, women often don’t feel they have much of a “choice”.


Our Commitment

We commit to providing a safe, welcoming environment for each woman to receive free professional services for her individualized and complex needs.

We believe God has compassion for both the woman and child involved in an unplanned pregnancy, so we commit to advocate for both equally.

We commit to working in partnership with the Christian community to provide support and practical help to women facing unplanned pregnancies.

Our Counseling

We recognize the complex set of issues surrounding unplanned pregnancy. Based on our research, a woman often experiences feelings of isolation, panic or shame. A woman facing an unplanned pregnancy should never feel alone in her journey.

Through our professional counseling services, we listen to understand what a woman is facing and feeling emotionally, physically and spiritually. Being part of her decision making process, we look to offer the accurate information she needs and the comfort she wants.

Our Connection

We know that research shows most women choose abortion because they lack emotional support and practical resources. We believe the community working in partnership with Caris can be part of the solution by serving pregnant women.

We help women build infrastructures of holistic support. Through our onsite Baby Boutique and referrals to community agencies, women gain practical resources based on individual needs. Caris support groups provide clients with emotional support from professional counselors and encouragement from peers. Women have access to spiritual support and additional care through connections with our Christian ministry partners.
