Parenting Program Introduces New Online Resource to Empower Local Families

Life Choices of Central Michigan programming in action

Raising a child can be one of the most rewarding, yet difficult, things a person can do. Luckily, there are programs and organizations that are dedicated to helping parents with their new role.

Life Choices of Central Michigan (LCCM) is a nonprofit organization that serves our community by offering free services and programs related to pregnancy, parenting, and sexual health. 

Thanks to a grant from the Fabiano Family Fund, LCCM was able to make updates in their Empower Life Parenting Programs. From mid-July 2019 to Jan 2020, Life Choices served 35 unique individuals in their parenting programs, helping to empower young parents with knowledge as they face the large task of raising children.

With the funds provided by the grant, LCCM set up an online resource called Bright Course. Bright Course has experts in the field of study and provides researched-based material with almost year content updates.

The online curriculum allows LCCM to provide the most up-to-date content for the clients they serve and empowers parents by providing off-site support and educational opportunities. Many of the technology upgrades will be useful several years into the future.
