who we are

Community outreach & education
What's In the Works
LifeNet plans to undertake a variety of programs to reach and educate young people and families about issues relating to sexual health, including pregnancy, sexually-transmitted diseases, and the benefits of being chaste outside of marriage. We expect to have programs developed for presentation in various public venues including the schools, initially focused on middle school and high school students.
We will be opening a satellite office in Corning soon and welcome the Corning community to an informational Tea. It is an RSVP event on December 2, 2023 at 11 am. The Tea will be hosted by Harvest Christian Church located at 1006 6th Street in Corning.
Pregnancy testing
Self-Administered Pregnancy Tests
One of the most important services LifeNet offers is assistance to a client in assessing whether she is pregnant. Since LifeNet is not a licensed medical clinic; staff will guide the client through the process of self-administering and reading the results the pregnancy test.
If the client is pregnant she is given a small layette, which contains several newborn baby items and helpful informational pamphlets. Then the coach advocate will begin a discussion with the client about her options and plans for parenting. Information will be given but LifeNet will not perform, prescribe or refer abortions.
The client advocate will introduce her, and her partner if available, to the Learning for Life program, show them the Baby Boutique, discuss possible County and community services that may be available, and schedule a follow-up appointment.
ongoing support
Follow Up/Other Support
The coach advocate will make a concerted effort to follow-up with the client to check on her well being and progress with her pregnancy. This will occur through follow up appointments, interaction during Learning for Life classes, and by telephone or other outreach. These follow-up discussions will facilitate communication and sharing of information, and allow the Advocate to better understand particular challenges the client may be facing, and determine if additional support from LifeNet can be provided.
Networking
List of County and Community Services/Advocacy
LifeNet provides clients with a list of County and community services that may be available to them. A trained volunteer coach advocate discusses their individual needs and shares information on which services may be available for client use. To the extent practical, the coach advocate and client will discuss obstacles the client may be facing in accessing needed services, and work together to explore ways to overcome the obstacles. LifeNet offers information but will not perform, prescribe or refer abortions.
