Childbirth Education Classes

We offer a series of complimentary Childbirth Preparation classes that cover a range of topics important for expecting mothers and their families.

Newborn Care Basics: The class is intended for both parents or any caregivers of an infant to learn essential information. Register for the June 24 class.

Sexual Health for Young Adults (ages 18+): The target audience of this class is 18–25-year-olds but anyone over 18 is welcome to attend.  This class focuses on understanding basic male and female anatomy, what is recommended to maintain good sexual health, birth control options and how they work, including emergency contraception and preventing sexually transmitted infections/diseases, as well as signs and symptoms of STIs/STDs. Register for the June 26 class.

Let's Talk About Sex - Sex Education for Teens 14-17: This class is intended for teens ages 14-17 years old and will be offered separately for male and female students to encourage open dialogue and promote an environment where questions are freely asked without embarrassment or concerns regarding the opposite sex.  Topics covered will include basic anatomy, puberty, how pregnancy happens and is prevented through various contraception options, sexually transmitted infections/diseases and the importance of fostering healthy relationships, resisting sexual pressure and protecting dreams and goals for the future through safe sex practices and abstinence. Register for one of the June 28 classes - Boys session and Girls session.
