About Caring Families
For over 35 years, Caring Families has been empowering people to make informed decisions. We believe when people receive comprehensive care and support, they are better able to take their next steps with confidence.
We are EDUCATORS, providing resources like pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, body literacy, options counseling, sexual integrity and reproductive health information, parenting preparedness, adoption plans, and healing support groups.
We are MENTORS, listening and cultivating healthy relationships with each client through ongoing encouragement, practical support, and individualized care.
We are ENCOURAGERS, taking the time to guide clients through their own decision-making, helping them articulate all the possibilities of their future. We connect them with material aid and sustaining resources, looking past immediate circumstances and advocating for each one fully.
We are LEADERS, inviting our community to partner together with compassion and integrity. By partnering with local providers and community organizations, we're able to provide a variety of free, confidential services that are changing lives daily.
Our Services
We provide compassionate care and practical support to individuals and families facing pregnancy-related decisions and challenges. Through our center in Willimantic, CT, and our MobileCare unit, we provide:
-
HOPE through pregnancy testing, limited OB ultrasounds, body literacy, options counseling, and referrals to OB/GYN, mental health, non-profit, and government agencies;
-
HELP through parenting aid, including material support, ongoing education, and community referrals; and
-
HEALING through support groups and referrals for those who have experienced trauma or loss.
All of our services are free and confidential. We serve anyone seeking support, regardless of religious belief or background, and are committed to treating every client with dignity, compassion, and respect.
We serve communities throughout Connecticut, including Willimantic, Manchester, Cheshire, Waterbury, New Haven, as well as the campuses of Eastern Connecticut State University, UConn at Storrs, and Yale University.
We collaborate with medical providers, social service agencies, schools, churches, and community organizations throughout Connecticut to connect clients with the care and resources they need.
