The Castle Country Pregnancy Resource Center would like to invite the community to their Open House on Saturday, June 1 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at their location of 836 East 100 North. This is a great opportunity for community members to learn about the wonderful services and resources the center has to offer.
“Castle Country Pregnancy Resource Center (CCPRC) exists to serve men and women in our community who are facing unplanned pregnancies or who might have difficult circumstances that come up around a pregnancy that’s making them nervous or unsure and what we do is we encourage them, we educate them, we provide resources and referrals to empower those men and women to make life-affirming choices about that pregnancy and beyond,” said Representative Joset Wells. The Mission of CCPRC is to foster a Christ-like view of human life and sexuality by offering hope and compassionate help, and enabling positive, life-affirming choices.
The CCPRC offers a wide array of services. “So when a person first comes to Castle Country Pregnancy Resource Center they will meet with one of our trained volunteers who would be a peer counselor and then we would talk about what that person’s fears are, just kind of talk through their situation and provide a listening ear so the person feels welcomed and encouraged,” said Wells. Understanding the individual’s situation will better enable peer counselors to determine what resources will best fit the needs of the individual. Other free services are pregnancy tests, post-abortion peer support and Earn-While-You-Learn Program which provides child development and parenting classes as well as access to the agency’s store full of gently used or new baby clothes, baby equipment, maternity clothes and more.
CCPRC is not a medical center and is not staffed by professional personnel. Because of this, CCPRC provides pregnancy tests but not pregnancy testing. All classes, peer counseling, and peer support are provided by trained volunteers who are not necessarily professionals in these fields. The Castle Country Pregnancy Resource Center is open Monday through Thursday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. To schedule an appointment please call (435)647-LOVE. Walk-ins are always welcomed.
