Eva's Place Pregnancy & Early Parenting Support Inc

Eva's Place - Pregnancy and Early Parenting Support


At Eva´s Place, we are here for women, teens and their families who are facing an unexpected positive pregnancy test or challenging pregnancy and early parenting situations. 

Eva's Place gives practical, emotional and material support to women, teens and their families throughout pregnancy and up until the end of the first year after their baby is born. 

Like 18-year-old Sarah, whose partner said he would deny he was the father of her child and she´d have to face life alone;  

or 34-year-old Katherine, who has four children and her husband has been sent to jail.  

Or like Josh, when the baby’s mother abandoned both him and their child when the baby was just a few weeks old, leaving him floundering. 

 

How your donation will be used to help: 

  • Eva’s Place Conversations:                                                                                                                                                         

Eva’s Place facilitates a safe place where women can have a conversation with someone who listens and helps them find answers to their questions surrounding the decision-making stage of an unexpected pregnancy. 

  • Eva’s Place Resource Room:                                                                                                                                                        

Baby clothes, maternity clothes and other baby items may be accessed by people who are unprepared for the birth of their baby or going through a difficult time. 

  • Mentoring and Male Mentoring Programs:  

Through one-on-one and group mentoring, clients participate in conversations about pregnancy and antenatal care; newborn and baby care, preparation for parenting; nutrition, budgeting and other life skills; and more. Clients also build relationships with good role models who demonstrate good parenting 

  • Baby Boutique:                                                                                                                                                                               

As women participate in the mentoring programme, they earn "Eva´s Place Dollars". The dollars can be spent in our baby boutique to acquire all the items needed for a baby - disposable nappies and wipes, clothing, footwear, bassinet/cot linen, plus larger items like nappy bags, cots, bassinets, porta-cots, baby rockers and play mats, baths etc. 

  • Reproductive Loss Counselling                                                                                                                                               

Eva’s Place provides counselling for all types of reproductive loss, including miscarriage, infant loss and after abortion, whether it happened recently or decades ago.

  • Abortion Grief Recovery Group                                     

The Abortion Grief Recovery Group is a 7-week program to assist women in their recovery from the pain and trauma associated with a past abortion. In the safety and confidentiality of a small group led by a trained facilitator, healing and restoration take place.  

  • Housing
