What comes after matters…

No one really talks about the after.
The thoughts that show up out of nowhere.
The feelings you didn’t expect.
The memories that don’t just disappear.
For some, the after feels heavy: emotionally, mentally, even physically. And that matters.
Your mental health matters.
Your questions matter.
Your story matters.

You don’t have to sort through it all alone. We’re here to have real, open, judgment-free conversations and help you find healing at your own pace. 💜

Looking for 4 Pregnant Moms for Newton Project🤰

Family Life Center is once again inviting students from St. Thomas the Apostle School and Newton Community High School to view a live ultrasound of a baby in the womb. This project helps the students appreciate the life within the womb and learn about fetal development.

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.

Do you know anyone that might be interested? Have them contact Allison Runyon at 217-342-5433 or by email at rn@familylifepcc.org.

Easter is all about new beginnings.

A fresh start. A new day. A reminder that hope is alive.

During STI/STD Awareness Month, we want you to know that we offer free STI testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis.

Many STIs don’t cause noticeable symptoms, which is why testing can be an important step, especially if you are considering abortion, since untreated infections can lead to complications.

After getting tested, consider choosing to save s*x for marriage, which is the only 100% effective prevention method for preventing further infection.

We’re here to help with judgment-free support.
