- $341,718 spent. Client Services: Bridgehaven provides free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds to clients. Clients meet with trained advocates to discuss all options and then administer a pregnancy test under the supervision of our trained staff and volunteers. If they bring support people with them, they are welcome to be part of the testing. The basis of this consultation is to provide medically accurate information to our clients about all their options, including referrals to adoption agencies within our community. We also provide limited STI testing as an option for all our pregnancy consultation appointments. Bridgehaven provides free ultrasounds for clients who come to the center with confirmed pregnancies that are estimated to be at least seven weeks. Our medical department is overseen by our two medical directors, doctors who both review scans and provide medical advisement and direction as needed. We have a full-time nurse manager and a volunteer who complete ultrasound exams. That appointment begins with medical history discussion and then support people are invited in for the actual scan. Sometimes, our clients do not have primary care providers so this appointment is often "gap care". We provide a limited ultrasound exam and check for three things: placement in the uterus, heartbeat to ensure the pregnancy is viable and size to determine a due date. Once those things are confirmed, we can offer clients medically accurate information and answer their questions, as well as recommend clinics for prenatal care. Clients leave with a list of resources in the community, and we provide prenatal vitamins if that is a need. We provide information on smoking cessation and other materials about healthy pregnancy. Our Take Heart program offers support and connections to resources for those facing miscarriage, life-limiting prenatal diagnoses, and infant loss. Our Take Courage program offers abortion recovery support for anyone who has been impacted by an abortion decision in their past. The program is either a weekend retreat in a group setting, or one-on-one support facilitated by a trained advocate who has also experienced an abortion in their past.
- $419,131 spent. Client Programs: Our Earn While You Learn educational programming serves all parents through providing education and the earning of supportive resources through classroom attendance. Parents can enlist in our EWYL programming so long as they have a child 18 or younger living in their home. Participation in weekly classes affords each parent the opportunity to shop in our food pantry for their grocery and household essentials. Yearly benefits based on attendance and participation include: school supplies, Easter and Christmas meat vouchers, winter coat distribution, and Christmas Room gifts. Clients who complete all eight weeks of the prenatal class qualify for a new crib or car seat. Health and Relationship Outreach programming includes health and relationship education for students (middle through college-age). Health educators conduct presentations to various groups of students that encourage positive character building while also reinforcing attributes of healthy relationships, encouraging positive communication skills, and building an understanding of what real love looks like in dating and marriage relationships.
