Who Does Imagine Help?

Spence-Chapin serves women throughout New York, New Jersey, and Arizona who are facing an unplanned pregnancy or who have just given birth and are unsure about parenting. When clients come to us for support, many are in crisis—they don’t have a strong support system to count on, some are experiencing financial or housing insecurity, are victims of domestic violence, or have just received an unexpected medical diagnosis for their baby and are in shock.

Spence-Chapin social workers provide compassionate and nonjudgmental counseling to these mothers while helping them to explore every option available to them and their baby. They identify and connect these moms who are struggling to local resources and social services they may be in need of who can provide the basics they are often lacking.

While receiving counseling and support from Spence-Chapin social workers, many women we serve choose to utilize our Interim Care Program, a respite care service where trained, loving volunteer families bring babies and children into their homes while mothers continue to work with their counselor on a plan for the future.

What Does Imagine Offer?

After receiving counseling on their options, some of the women we serve choose to parent, feeling better equipped for parenthood with the support they receive and the resources that we help identify, while others are facing circumstances that preclude parenting as an option and choose to make an adoption plan for their child.

Whichever pathway they choose, Imagine is there to support them by providing a welcoming space where they can select supplies, necessities, and outfits for their babies, both during Interim Care and after. Additionally, post-partum supplies are also available to aid in their healing process.

For mothers who choose to parent, Spence-Chapin also prepares care packages with all of the baby necessities they need, but were unable to acquire themselves, to get started on their parenting journey.
