Mission: A Step Ahead of Middle Tennessee prevents unplanned pregnancies by providing education about and access to free long-acting reversible contraception (LARC).
Vision: A Step Ahead Foundation of Middle Tennessee improves educational, economic, and health outcomes for women and their children in Middle Tennessee. By providing access to long-acting reversible contraception (LARC), the most effective reversible methods of birth control, we hope to increase positive pregnancy outcomes for both the mother and the child, lower infant mortality, and improve family life. We hope to reduce economic strain and encourage career opportunities before child birth. We provide a means for women to plan each child and every step of her life through education and long-acting reversible contraception (LARC).
To reach and teach all children in wheelchairs the importance of complete independence, which in turn leads to self-esteem, motivation, and a desire to excel. The children of A.B.L.E. Youth are taught to Adapt, Believe, Love and Enjoy life as it pertains to them. As the children show signs of independence, they are introduced to all types of wheelchair sports and recreation which further enhance their belief they are truly ‘capABLE’ of anything in life.
