Hopeful Beginnings not only assists women experiencing unplanned pregnancies, considering adoption, but also counsels those experiencing perinatal mood disorders, such as, anxiety, depression, grieving a loss due to a pregnancy, and having trouble adjusting to motherhood.  We also offer a teen parenting program through a northwest suburban high school district and case management services for pregnant or parenting women looking for referrals and assistance during hard times, such as these.  Women and teens receiving our free services also have access to our Baby Closet, which has newborn and baby necessities, such as diaper, wipes, formula, and more.  The need to raise funds for our maternity counseling is now more critical than ever with the health crisis among us.  We need your help, so that our agency may continue to provide FREE counseling services to women and teens, at a crucial time in their lives.
