Hope Clinic for Women offers New Hope ED@Home

FALLBROOK – With students and mothers at home due to the current national emergency, Hope Clinic for Women will extend new online programs to the broader community.

These programs include BrightCourse prenatal and parenting lessons; GED HiSet and community service hours via surveys for Fallbrook High School students.

All educational programs and resources are at no cost to those participating. Hope Clinic for Women is still open for free walk-in pregnancy tests. It is preferred that women call them at (760) 728-4105 to assure a staff member is available to assist them.

How Hope ED@Home is delivered:

· BrightCourse – These online classes allow an Hope Clinic for Women client advocate to text a link to the online class to the client. After viewing the class, the client advocate who is also at home, will call the client at a scheduled time to discuss questions together. Clients completing each class receive points which allow them to “purchase” much-needed resources such as diapers, wipes, formula, etc.

· GED HiSet Prep – This is a high school equivalency completion class open to mothers over 18 who are in pregnancy or have children under two. Sessions will be scheduled at times and on days flexible with both the clients and GED client advocates.

· Peer student surveys are available for 20 hours of community service. Since the recent Fallbrook High School Community Service Fair was canceled, Hope Clinic for Women wants students to know that while they are at home, they can still earn up to 20 community service hours by completing student surveys online. For more information, contact Melanie at (760) 728-4105 or email [email protected].

Hope Clinic for Women’s resource needs will increase as they assist friends and neighbors who are laid off or lose jobs during this emergency. The most needed items are for moms with babies during this emergency: diapers in sizes newborn, 3 and 4, wipes, baby food, formula and new baby clothing in sizes newborn to 2T. For more information on obtaining these supplies, email [email protected].

If a resident, business, church or small group can provide these items for Hope Clinic for Women, contact Carolyn at (760) 728-4105, ext. 10. Drop off is at 125 E. Hawthorne St. in Fallbrook at the back door – ring the doorbell – Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
