In a caring and loving Chris- tian atmosphere, the Alpha Center helps women put to- gether the pieces of their lives -- before, during and after they make critical decisions about how to deal with their unplanned pregnancy. COUNSELING Nobody wants to go through a crisis alone. Yet many of the women who visit the Alpha Center feel very alone in their pregnancy. They often find them- selves having many questions and few answers. Our counseling services enable us to support women as they work through their situation and explore options for their pregnancy. We counsel that abortion compounds rather than solves the problems asso- ciated with crisis pregnancies. Therefore, the Alpha Center does not advise, provide or re- fer abortion as a viable option. EDUCATION Many women who visit the Alpha Center have never evaluated the physiological and psychological consequences of the decisions theymake regard- ing their crisis pregnancy. Few have received the facts they need to make an informed de- cision. Through education and counseling, we_ offer each of our clients the opportunity to look at their situation and make decisionsbased on accurate in- formation. In addition, our abstinence education programs are also available free of charge to our local public schools and church youth groups. Our SEX, LOVE & CHOICES pro- gram educates youth and young adults about the value of abstinence before marriage, and provides practical training to overcome the pressures they face to be sexually active. COMPASSION The Alpha Center is commit- ted to reaching out in love with the Gospel of JesusChrist to women in crisis. Often that care includes providing for basic needs like food, housing and clothing. We are com- mitted to providing whatever forms of support are needed to enable awoman to carry her child to term and plan constructively for her care. For women who have emo- tional scars resulting from an abortion in their past, we offer post -abortion counseling.
