Guys, We are Here for You, Too
At First Choice, we understand that an unplanned pregnancy is tough on a guy, too. This is a stressful and confusing time for both the father and the mother of the baby. That’s why we offer information and support through the process. We want to help you know what you can do to better help her and maintain your own well-being along the way.
Our Fatherhood Initiative
While First Choice has always welcomed fathers, this program allows us to better meet the specific needs of these young men. Often dads are delegated to the sidelines of a pregnancy decision, but they can now meet with male volunteers who empower them to have a voice. The Fatherhood Initiative will also allow us to better educate these dads to be the best father they can be.
Confident, involved fathers will lead to more stable families and better outcomes for their children.
