Pregnancy can come with a lot of questions. This is why we have PLANS, which stands for Parenting Lessons and Nurturing Supplies. This program has a simple premise. Moms and dads complete a lesson on topics such as labor and delivery, breastfeeding, postpartum care, and more. They earn points that they can spend in our baby boutique which is full of maternity and baby care supplies.

Lifeline’s Adventures of Parenting program aims to prepare moms and dads to successfully navigate the challenges of parenthood. New and expecting parents participate in free interactive lessons on parenting topics such as communication, bonding, and child safety. These lessons are paired with one-on-one support and coaching.
