With your faithful support, Thrive Medical Clinic has been able to impact the lives of many people facing unplanned pregnancies in our community with our medical services. But Medical appointments can only touch the surface of our patients' needs. An overwhelming need we’ve seen is the desire for connection. It’s our vision that these courageous men and women who choose life wouldn’t just survive, but thrive and move forward to a more abundant life. Out of this heart, Thrive Forward was launched just four months ago. Our hope is that everyone who comes to Thrive Forward will feel the empowerment to thrive through a community of support and access to knowledge that is life-changing.
Think of it as a series of bridges. Thrive Medical is the first step that provides immediate medical care. Then patients are connected with a staff member who tells them about continued mentorship/ coaching, practical support, and opportunities for growth offered by Thrive Forward.
Once patients cross the bridge to Thrive Forward, they have a personal connection, a friend for the journey. Their mentor/coach helps them create many bridges to other supports within the community.
Simply put, Thrive Medical is for that moment of decision. Thrive Forward is for everything after.
When hearing there is someone ready and willing to hear their story and process life with them on a regular basis, many people have responded, “I need that!” Patients have come into Thrive Forward with tough and overwhelming life situations and consistently leave looking physically lighter, so thankful, and full of hope. They leave saying things like, “I don’t know what I would do if you guys weren’t here!”
It’s working—He is working! It has been such a privilege to join in the work God is already doing in these patients’ lives; and it is humbling to think that He is providing for them through Thrive Forward. He created this place for them “for such a time as this”, because they matter and their story matters.
Thank you for the service and prayers you have poured into making Thrive Forward a reality. You matter! And what you care about matters and what you pray for matters; your passion and your generosity— it matters!
Thrive Forward exists to continue relationships with patients.
Here’s how:
Thrive Essentials
One of the ways we come alongside the courageous women and men who choose life for their unborn child is by ensuring that they have what they need to care for their child as they navigate parenthood. Thrive Essentials provides brand new maternity and baby items, such as clothing, diapers, formula, hygiene products, period supplies, etc. This program is completely donor funded, and each beautiful item comes from individuals just like you!
Mentorship for Women
Sometimes women want someone to celebrate with and other times they want someone who will just listen. Being able to talk through life is incredibly healthy. We offer professional one-on-one mentorship for women seeking a non-judgmental and calming space. Mentors offer a listening ear, encouragement, and connections to help create a bridge with other helpful resources within the community.
Coaching for Men
We’re here to provide men with the individualized support and encouragement they need to navigate the pressure and stress of life. One-on-one, 60-minute coaching sessions take place regularly and are personalized to specific goals, questions, and needs. Trained coaches will discuss various topics such as parenting/co-parenting, healthy relationships, finance, and career exploration.
