Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

H.e.a.r.t. (health education and relationship training): prevention of unintented pregnancies is part of birthline's mission. In 2011, parents, teachers and 1,511 middle and high school students participated in this training. This program focuses on the health risks of being sexually active and promotes sexual abstinence as the only guaranteed way to prevent pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. Heart presentations are provided free of charge as a service to schools and youth groups in central minnesota.

Activity 3

Stepping stones (ss): this is birthline's largest program. It is an earn-while-you-learn incentive program which provides education and material support to pregnant women, fathers or those who have an infant under the age of 6 months. In 2011, 180 individuals were served - an increase over previous years. In total, 1007 personal mentoring sessions were held. There were 150 class sessions offered (prenatal health, childbirth education, parenting, family budgeting, life skills, etc) with total attendance at 596 participants. The value of infant and adult supplies distributed totaled more than $33,000. Program evaluations and surveys indicated that ss recipients believe this program significantly helped them to reduce risky prenatal activities, become better prepared for parenting, increase their family stability, and help them become increasingly self-sufficient.
