Support Groups

At First Care, we believe that help and healing often come through the insight and encouragement of others. It is for this reason that we have several pregnancy-related support groups available to women and men.

ARISE

• A Resource, Information, Support, and Encouragement Group for first time single mothers
• Designed to be a peer mentoring approach to supporting, encouraging, and educating first time single mothers. Group members are encouraged to begin the group during their pregnancy, and groups accept new members until their child begins Kindergarten.
• Facilitated by a single mom.
• Intended to empower first time single mothers, based on biblical principles, to be the best moms and women they can be.
• What past participants have said about ARISE:
  

  "My favorite part of being involved in ARISE is the commitment of love and friendship everyone shares."

  "Every parent needs a group like this to go to!"

  "It is a fun, safe place to share with others your feelings about being a single mother."

  "I really look forward to group night. It's been a great support. It's also helped me realize I'm not alone."

  "The ARISE group has meant the world to me and my child. I am a better mom and person for being a part of the group."

Uphold

Uphold is a post adoption group which seeks to connect birth mothers so they can support and encourage each other's growth through their adoption experience. Groups are typically held twice a year.

Call (612) 866-7643 for more information on this group or visit the Uphold section.

Conquerors

Conquerors is a support program for men and women suffering from the painful effects of a past abortion. The name of the program is taken from the Bible verse Romans 8:37 that says, "Now, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."
