Parenting Information
Deciding on parenting following confirmation of an unplanned pregnancy can seem like a daunting task. We are here to help, and will help you with the services you need to be a successful parent.
Choosing to Parent
We are here to help you navigate your way to parenthood with kindness and caring. In addition to clothing for mom and baby, we offer diapers and wipes, and will assist with baby equipment (such as a car seat).
Parenting Support
St Gerard’s has partnered with other social services providers in the Hartford area to help you meet your needs and the needs of your baby. We offer honest information, material assistance, and a friendly environment to help you achieve your goal of parenting your baby. We will also be having bi-weekly peer group sessions to connect with our parents.
The decision to parent, like your other options, is not an easy one. If you are facing an unplanned pregnancy, you might worry about providing for a family. However, successful parenting comes from offering your child a strong support system. We are here to support you.

- Do you have a place to live, or do you need help finding one?
- Do you have a job or other means of support? We can connect you with services to help.
