The moral practice of NFP involves a way of life, not just a method of birth regulation. CCL classes are taught by professionally trained volunteers who are committed to the principles of the League and who have witnessed the benefits of NFP in their own lives. Couples learning the method use the CCL manual , The Art of Natural Family Planning and are encouraged to attend classes together if at all possible.
Personal counseling is available at each meeting and between meetings.
Learning couples are encouraged to contact their Teaching Couple for counseling and assistance in interpreting their cycles.
