Turning Point Pregnancy Resource Center is a 501 (c)(3) community-focused non profit whose mission is to provide hope,help and healing to women and men experiencing an unplanned pregnancy.

These include pregnancy testing, counseling and nurse consultations, limited obstetrical ultrasounds, pregnancy/parenting education classes, practical material assistance, specialized counseling (post abortion, grief, relationship), and sexual integrity presentations to middle and high school students. In August of 2014, the ICU Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) will be servicing women and men in specific underserved areas of our community. The ICU MMU is a structurally engineered and designed mobile unit complete with a medical exam room, ultrasound machine, bathroom, nurse station and a lobby area. The ICU MMU will expand our brick and mortar clinic to better serve women and men in our community.
About This Cause
An unexpected pregnancy is arguably one of the most difficult situations a woman or man will ever have to face in their lifetime. We strive to offer a supportive and caring environment, important free medical services, and programs designed to support them during a critical time in their life. At Turning Point PRC, we seek to speak the truth in love and offer counseling that is honest, straightforward, and non-judgmental, coupled with practical resources that meet her needs, and vital free medical services (pregnancy testing/verification, nurse consultation and ultrasound) so she can make an informed decision. Below is a quote from one of our recent clients. Names have been changed for privacy and protection.: "Everyone had so much kindness and understanding. Also, I was give the information that I was seeking without judgement, but compassion and encouragement." Hannah J. Pregnancy Wellness Classes The Earn While You Learn pregnancy wellness classes help prepare women for motherhood by providing emotional support and encouragement, as well as practical material assistance. Each week a woman meets with her mentor, watches an educational DVD based on her stage of pregnancy, discusses it with her mentor and then takes "homework" with her to return the next session. Women earn points they use like money to shop in our Mommy and Me marketing for material assistance such as maternity clothes,diapers, wipes, blankets, etc. Turning Point will purchase a new infant car seat for each woman attending the program. We work with each woman to set realistic goals based on her stage in life so she will be empowered through education and support, to handle the joys and challenges of motherhood. "Guarded" Our Sexual Integrity Education This presentation for youth groups is an interactive teaching about healthy sexuality. Covered are first: the physical consequences of sex outside of marriage and second: the emotional, relational, and spiritual consequences. Below are quotes from a few of the youth attendees: "I learned a lot about the many consequences we can have when having sex. It is not a temporary effect but it is a permanent, life long effect." Brenda A. We seek not only to help prevent unwanted pregnancy through our sexual intergrity education, but to empower women who face and unplanned pregnancy with education, compassionate support, important medical services, and practical material assistance. Together we can build a wall of support to those women and men in our community facing an unplanned pregnancy. We invite you to join us by supporting us with your financial gifts.
