Mission: The miami valley women's center is a pregnancy resource center that serves women, men, and their families with life-affirming information and pregnancy-related care. Services and programs include pregnancy testing, limited ultrasound, parenting, and support programs for pregnancy-related issues to men, women, and their families. We are an organization that values life, supports families, and demonstrates christ's love.
Programs: The mvwc provided pregnancy information, support, and parenting education to 2,640 women and 571 men. This includes parenting education for women and men; support for women and men who have experienced a miscarriage or infant death; and abortion recovery that provides a safe environment for healing from a past abortion. Parenting courses for women include prenatal development, infant care, making the home safe, how to calm a fussy baby, the dangers of alcohol, shaken baby syndrome, developing healthy relationships, and setting boundaries. Men's parenting courses instruct clients regarding infant care, swaddling (to calm a baby), making formula, taking a temperature, and car seat safety. Both male and female clients earned credits through the form of "baby bucks" for attending classes, completing homework, and additional assignments. Upon completion of a five- or ten-week course, clients can spend the "bucks" on baby items. Five week courses were also provided to parents who were mandated to court-ordered parenting classes. Approximately 1,300 men and women were educated through a parenting course or supported through a recovery and healing program.
the mvwc provided pregnancy-related medical services to women in the greater dayton, ohio area. We provided 1,057 free pregnancy testing and options counseling, so they could make the most informed decision about their pregnancy. In addition, we provided 777 limited ultrasounds.
abstinence education was offered to 4,259 teens ages 13-19 through health class presentations in middle and high schools, mentoring from college students, and character development and mentoring in ongoing small groups. Campus outreach to wright state university, sinclair college, central state university, and wilberforce made over 5,000 student connections.
