As Texas restricts abortion, the ‘Trust Her’ team gives contraception access to more women and teens | SharonFGrigsby
Dallas group provides no-cost, same-day services to help women create stable and successful families and to try to reduce teen pregnancy.
There’s no better witness for this effort than nurse practitioner Micaela Sanchez, who works in one of the women’s clinics partnering withBorn and raised in Oak Cliff, where she now is a 36-year-old homeowner, Sanchez was pregnant when she graduated from high school and, at 17, a single mother. Given our elected officials’ efforts to block most abortions in Texas, Trust Her’s strategies — which focus exclusively on seamless access to contraception — are more important than ever for families to be stable and successful.
Some patients have public or private insurance that eventually reimburses the clinic, which uses those dollars to refill and sustain its inventory. To ensure that no one is ever turned away, Trust Her acts as a funder of last resort for women whose method of contraception is not covered by insurance., whose goal is to cut the Dallas County child poverty in half over the next 20 years.
This Buckner Boulevard branch of the Tenison Women’s Health Care Center network is one of eight Dallas County clinics partnering with the Trust Her initiative. Loretta Landry, the former senior director at the Child Poverty Action Lab, designed and launched Trust Her in December 2019 after extensive research confirmed the link between long-term disparities in children’s lives and inequities in reproductive health.Too often, Landry saw that almost no neighborhood clinics offered family planning services and pregnancy-intention questions weren’t part of the protocol.
The staff regularly plays the role of mother figure and counselor as well as medical provider, and more than 30% of clients are teens. Because the Tenison centers are Title X clinics, meaning they receive federal funding, they offer that rare-in-Texas chance for teens to get contraception without parental approval.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American College of Nurse Midwives and the American Academy of Family physicians support immediate postpartum LARC access as a best practice.
