We Have A Place For You, Too
Whether you recently learned your partner is pregnant or have been a father for years, you likely have questions about this next stage of your life.
The Open Door provides specialized services and support for men, so you receive the help needed to excel in this chapter.
And if you’re still processing your partner’s pregnancy news, we can help you learn the best ways to offer support and encouragement. You’re not alone.
Our Offerings
We provide various services geared toward your unique needs and situation, including:
Emotional Support During an Unplanned Pregnancy
Though your partner is the one who’s pregnant, you’re likely wondering how best to support her while navigating your own feelings. This challenge is understandable; the news might have come as a shock.
First, know that your partner needs you more than ever. Your presence and involvement signal that she can rely on you as you navigate this experience together.
However, processing your own emotions and speaking with a trusted person can help you evaluate what you’re thinking and ensure you have the help needed to support yourself and your partner.
We offer long-term emotional support, allowing you to process your feelings openly and honestly. You can also attend an options consultation with your partner to learn about the possible paths forward.
Fatherhood Program
You have special responsibilities as a father, but there is no parenting manual provided when you become one. This stage of your life can be exciting, but many questions may arise.
With our fatherhood program, you’ll find a supportive community ready to help you become the best father possible. The Open Door provides confidential help, mentoring, and more so you can be a prepared and engaged parent.
Material Assistance
Whether you’re a single parent or part of a couple raising a child, you may have concerns about affording the supplies needed to raise your child. Support is available.
You’ll earn bucks to spend in our Baby Boutique when you participate in our classes. Offered items include baby clothing, supplies, toys, furniture, and more.
Men’s Mentoring
Sometimes, you need the perspectives another man can provide. This is especially true if you are navigating an unplanned pregnancy or raising a child.
We offer confidential men’s mentoring services. Get your questions answered by one of our male client advocates.
