Preconception Guidance Course
For many, chronic health conditions can complicate the process of conception and pregnancy, making it challenging to experience a healthy birth. TBEI is changing that by bringing educational and self-advocacy support to those facing chronic conditions.
About the Course
Our Embrace Preconception Care Program, a partnership with OU-Health Tulsa Family and Community Medicine Department and TBEI, is a six-week guided discussion that empowers participants, desiring to become pregnant in the next year, to gain more control over chronic health conditions, self-advocacy, and self-wellness.
This incentivized, industry-leading program consists of six-weekly guided discussions, designed to aid participants in gaining more control over their health, wellness, and nutritional needs. Other key components include self-advocacy, connections to community resources, and self-wellness. These sessions are open to individuals that may or may not have a chronic health condition.
