Parenting

Preparing you for Parenthood

Insight Women’s Center wants to help equip you to feel empowered on your parenting journey. From the moment you discover you are pregnant until your child’s first birthday, the Bright Course parenting program provides education and support to help you become confident and comfortable in parenting your child.

The Bright Course program is a free personalized one-on-one parenting education program that prepares you for the birth and first year of your child’s life. The information and guidance gained from these lessons will help you grow as a parent and person. Choose from over 100 available topics —including pregnancy, labor, and delivery, raising a new little one, and more.

If you’re overwhelmed by an unplanned pregnancy, you are not alone. You may be considering an abortion. Before you make any decisions, it is essential to recognize this is a big decision. It would help if you gave yourself time to get as much information as possible to decide what is truly the best option for you.

Insight Women’s Center helps you gain the knowledge you need to make an informed decision and answer any questions you may have.

Always Free, Always Caring,

Always Confidential

Fatherhood Program

The unique role of fathers is valued, and we encourage men to participate in every area of our center. Insight offers the Dad Adventure Program which is facilitated by men for men. This group class is designed to help men improve their parenting skills and fathering knowledge.

Women and men who participate in the Bright Course and 24/7 Dads program can earn FREE cribs, car seats, diapers, clothing, and other baby necessities.

Parenting can be daunting. An unexpected pregnancy adds an extra element of anxiety into the mix. We are here to help those who recently became pregnant and want to parent your child. If interested in the Bright Course lessons, please contact Insight Women’s Center today. For needs outside of what Insight Women’s Center provides, we have an extensive list of community resources available to help you in your parenting journey. While IWC can provide a pregnancy test, an ultrasound, and give you up-to-date medically accurate information about all your options.
Insight Women’s Center does not offer, recommend, or refer for abortions. We can help you determine how far along you are and share accurate information about abortion procedures and risks—empowering you to make the best choice for you.

Additional Questions You Might Have

Some pregnancy symptoms may include a missed period, swollen/tender breasts, nausea/morning sickness, fatigue/tiredness, backaches, headache, frequent urination, darkening of nipples, food cravings, slight bleeding.

All of our services are free.

The services provided to you by our center are made possibly by individuals, businesses, and local churches who care about you and what you are going through.  We are a faith-based organization & hope to empower you to confidently choose life for your baby, but we also recognize & respect that it’s your choice.  We offer non-judgmental ongoing support for you for all three different options for your pregnancy. 

You need to bring a photo ID. Having a full bladder is recommended if receiving a pregnancy test or limited ultrasound.

While we attempt to accommodate walk-ins, making an appointment is preferred. We cannot guarantee appointment availability for walk-ins. Please text 785-333-1376 or call 785-842-6499 to schedule.

Our tests are professional medical-grade quality, urine pregnancy tests administered by our licensed medical professionals. If the test is positive, we can provide a confirmation of pregnancy.

Please allow anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes for your appointment. Our administrative assistant can give you a better idea of how much time your appointment will take depending on the services you request when scheduling.

After completing the paperwork, you will meet with our professionals to go over your information, and a pregnancy test will be administered. We will plan or schedule an ultrasound with a positive pregnancy test result to confirm a viable uterine pregnancy.

You can bring your partner, a family member, or friend. First, we will talk with you privately. Then if you give us consent to have your support person in the room, your guest will be able to join you for certain portions of your appointment—including the ultrasound. However, due to our strict confidentiality policy, there will be times we need to speak to you privately. Also, we encourage you to make other arrangements for your children but understand sometimes that may not be possible. Children are welcome to stay with a responsible person in our waiting area.

Our medical services do not  include testing for STD/STI’s.  Our caring medical staff can educate you on the different types of STD/STI’s and how they can affect your pregnancy. Then provide a referral to a local medical facility that can provide testing for you. 

We are committed to support women throughout their pregnancy decision  journey. We are prepared to provide after-abortion support to women who feel they can benefit from this service.
In Kansas, the law requires anyone under the age of 18 to obtain consent from both parents to get an abortion. If your parents are separated or divorced, only the parent with custody needs to consent to the abortion. Scheduling an appointment with IWC does not require parental consent.  As we talk through your pregnancy options, we will discuss ways you can tell your parents about your pregnancy and how to include them in your decision-making process.

We adhere to a strict privacy and confidentiality policy. Clients are protected from disclosure of information that violates their right to privacy except where required by law, required for public health reasons, required to avert a threat of harm to the client or a third person, or when other circumstances may reasonably warrant such use or disclosure without prior authorization (e.g., abuse reporting, suicide/homicide prevention, etc.)
