OUR MISSION
A Step Ahead of Middle Tennessee prevents unplanned pregnancies by providing education and access to free, long-acting, reversible contraception (LARC).
WHAT WE DO

We provide our free LARC services to residents of these 29 middle Tennessee counties: Bedford, Cannon, Cheatham, Davidson, DeKalb, Dickson, Giles, Hickman, Houston, Humphreys, Lawrence, Lewis, Lincoln, Macon, Marshall, Maury, Montgomery, Moore, Perry, Putnam, Robertson, Rutherford, Smith, Stewart, Sumner, Trousdale, Wayne, Williamson, and Wilson
WHY WE DO IT
We know that not every woman has access to the resources necessary for effective family planning, and we want to change that, because preventing unplanned pregnancy means:
-
increased ability to plan pregnancies
-
better educational and economic outcomes
-
more stable families
-
increased health and happiness for women and children
"I chose a long term reversible method of birth control because I have goals in my life. I want to finish college and I want to get a better education and find a stable job before I have children."
