Pregnancy & Parenting Support

We provide high-quality support to women and families across Arkansas because we believe every person deserves exceptional, compassionate care.

Having a baby can bring many emotions, from joy and excitement to feeling scared and overwhelmed, but our team is here to support you every step of the way. Through individual and group services, we bring pregnancy support and women’s health services directly to Arkansas communities.

Our specialized community health workers offer personalized support through care navigation, health education, resource connections, postpartum support, and more. Our mission is to empower you with the support and resources you need so you feel confident, informed, and prepared when your baby arrives and in the months that follow. 

What We Offer:

  • Health education
  • Connection to care and community resources (such as food pantries, childcare, transportation, job fairs, and more)
  • In-language interpretation (Marshallese & Spanish)
  • Health insurance knowledge and support
  • Car seat education
  • and more!

Care, Connection & Confidence

“Being able to get into a group and talk to other parents and go through my pregnancy with other people, it just makes the pregnancy better.” – Keziah Norwood, El Dorado

In addition to individualized care, we offer group pregnancy support and family-centered education programs. Our group pregnancy and parenting programs provide a welcoming space for shared learning and real connections with other moms and families.

These sessions cover key maternal health topics, including pregnancy care, childbirth, breastfeeding, and postpartum recovery, while encouraging family members to participate in the health and well-being of both parent and baby. By learning together, families are better prepared to offer informed support, strengthen communication, and make healthy decisions, leading to improved health outcomes and greater confidence during pregnancy and beyond.

Services are available in Ashley, Benton, Carroll, Columbia, Madison, Ouachita, Union, and Washington counties.
