Guiding Light Initiative

The new 2024 Guiding Light Initiative is dedicated to mobilizing Caris in the community to address unplanned pregnancies among young women ages 13-25 via professional telehealth counseling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your political stance?

Caris is an apolitical nonprofit organization. Our approach is easy, we serve with grace and love and trust God to do the work we are incapable of.
If a woman decides to end her pregnancy?

We are still available to her providing support for her emotional needs. We commit to supporting every woman facing an unplanned pregnancy, no matter what her decision is. This is one of our core values.
Do you provide ultrasound?

Caris partners with a local organization that provides free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds.
What can I expect from a counseling session, how long does it take?

A professional counselor will greet you in the waiting room and invite you to a private room. She will spend time talking with you about what’s going on in your life and how pregnancy may affect it.
What kind of resources can you connect me to?

We are committed to helping you find the support and resources you need during and after an unexpected pregnancy. Free resources, community programs, and our very popular Connection Groups are all excellent options!
Do you provide or refer abortions?
