Looking for 4 Pregnant Moms for Newton Project🤰

We are looking for 4 pregnant moms to participate. This will take place on April 24th at the Family Life Center in Newton. The moms can expect this to take about an hour of their time.

Here’s the truth.

Real confidence doesn’t need a drink or a pill.
Real fun doesn’t require a cloud of smoke or a high.
Real peace doesn’t come from substances.

Clear mind = Stronger boundaries.
Safer choices.
Healthier relationships.

You deserve clarity.
You deserve safety.
You deserve relationships built on respect.

We’re here to support you, judgment-free and confidential.

“It helps me relax.”
“It’s not that serious.”
“I can stop anytime.”

That’s the lie.

What starts as stress relief can turn into:
• Increased anxiety
• Mood swings
• Addiction
• Riskier decisions

Short-term calm can create long-term consequences.

You deserve real peace, not something that clouds your mind and lowers your standards.

Need healthier ways to cope with stress? We’re here for that too.

It usually doesn’t start with a big decision.
It starts with pressure.

“Just one.”
“Don’t be boring.”
“Everyone’s doing it.”

Substance use lowers boundaries — and when boundaries drop, it becomes harder to protect your body, your heart, and your future.

You deserve relationships that respect your “no.”

If you ever feel pressured, you don’t have to navigate that alone. We’re here.
