Patient Consultant
The Patient Consultant (PC) is responsible for guiding patients through their pregnancy options. Using the L.O.V.E. Approach method (Listen & Learn, Open Options, Vision & Values, and Extend & Empower), PCs provide consultations to women who are facing unplanned and unsupported pregnancies and are exploring their options of abortion, parenting, and adoption. Charis provides a loving, non-judgmental atmosphere in order to build trust with each woman and be there for her during her time of crisis. PCs are experts in relevant literature and community referrals to support each unique patient. They continue to follow up after in-person appointments to provide friendship, support, and guidance throughout pregnancy, for as long as the patient is in our Intervention stage of care. The PC also uses the time during appointments to assess spiritual needs and plant seeds of the Gospel whenever possible.
This role is the most committed, as a Patient Consultant serves for four consecutive hours a week.
