How We Can Help
You are not alone
Our non-profit pregnancy resource centre offers a range of free services and programs for individuals and families in Cochrane and communities across the Bow Valley. People of all backgrounds and beliefs are welcome and will always be met with care and respect.
-
Pregnancy Options
If you are, or think you might be, pregnant and aren’t sure what to do next, we offer free pregnancy tests and a confidential environment to talk through your feelings. A trained Client Advocate will be by your side to listen, support you without pressure, and provide accurate, unbiased information on all choices (parenting, adoption, and abortion options). Our goal is to give you the confidence and clarity to decide what’s right for you.
-
Parenting Support
Being a parent is one of life's most rewarding experiences, but it also comes with questions and challenges. Whether you're preparing for a new baby or need extra support along the way, our programs provide education, resources, and encouragement to help you build the skills and foundation you need to feel better equipped for family life.
-
Material Support
Our parenting and pregnancy support in Cochrane extends beyond a conversation. We know practical help can make everyday life a little easier, which is why clients connected to our services and programs can access our in-centre boutique, Cathy's Corner. Here, you'll find free maternity and baby clothing, diapers, wipes, and other essentials.
-
Partner Support
An unexpected pregnancy can be life-changing for fathers and partners, too. We offer support and male mentorship so you can talk about what you’re experiencing, understand what to expect, and learn how to be there for your partner. You’ll also gain the tools to build healthy relationships and take an active role in what comes next.
our Vision
We envision the Bow Valley Corridor as a community that honours every life and brings restoration and healing to the lives of individuals, their children and families for generations.
