The Life Boat program is a series of one-on-one studies. It is
designed for pregnant women to assist in decision-making and parenting
preparation. Life Boat is an opportunity to further examine this
important time in your life.
Getting to Know Myself
How do you react when things are going well, or not so well? How
do you perceive yourself and how do you think your friends perceive
you? Explore such topics as your family background, dating experiences
and your thoughts on religion.
My Life At Present
How have you been coping since you first heard you were pregnant?
We discuss your priorities and how these may change when your baby
arrives.
Making Good Decisions
What areas of your life have shaped you into the person you are
today? Do most of the decisions you make in life conform to your
value system and priorities? This is the time to think about what
goals you want to strive for in the years to come.
To Parent or Place
For many women, adoption is something that they instinctively feel
guilty about considering. Sometimes adoption becomes an option that
should be looked at seriously. Women choose to place their babies
for adoption everyday, and while it is a difficult choice to make,
it can also be a very positive decision.
Realities of Parenting
Many first-time parents do not think their lives will change and
are surprised when it happens. This session discusses how your daily
life will be different, and how a new baby can be something to look
forward to.
Information, Support and Referrals
This session explores resources within Toronto that may assist you
with your pregnancy and beyond.
Learning to Budget Wisely
For many people budgeting is a 'dirty word'. It reminds people of
being restrained, having to sacrifice, and living a boring life.
If this is what you think, you may be surprised to learn that budgeting
can ease stress, and allow for the splurges we all love from time
to time, without making you irresponsible or putting your financial
situation or credit history in jeopardy.
