Real Alternatives Helps Even after the Baby Is Born
New Born Baby Support

Since the 1990s, Real Alternatives has run crisis pregnancy centers offering free counseling, food, shelter, and clothing. Beyond these services, the nonprofit provides ongoing support that extends well beyond a woman’s decision to have her baby.

For the first 12 months of a baby’s life, Real Alternatives provides mother and child with access to a wide range of educational opportunities, counseling, and more. Parenting classes and mentoring services educate clients on topics such as lactation, health and nutrition, personal finance, positive relationships, and the management of anger and conflict.

In addition, the organization partners with providers who work on behalf of clients to arrange social service appointments and employment interviews. Meanwhile, the group’s Pregnancy and Parenting Support Services Program works to provide cribs, baby food, and other items vital to creating a safe, healthy, and stable environment for both mother and child. Real Alternatives is also the sole statewide group that offers free maternity clothing.
