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 2012, parents, teachers and more than 2,000 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. In addition, information is provided to encourage healthy relationships amoung students. 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 2012, 138 individuals were served. In total, 843 personal mentoring sessions were held. There were 145 class sessions offered (prenatal health, childbirth education, parenting, family budgeting, life skills, etc) with total attendance at 527 participants. The value of infant and adult supplies distributed totaled more than $41,000. 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.
