Confidential Support Workers
You are looking for a safe place to talk. You are always welcome here. Your visit will be strictly confidential, between you and us. The exception, when required by law, is when you or someone else needs protection.
Our support workers can share accurate information about pregnancy options, fetal development, abortion procedures and risks, lifestyle issues or related concerns. All of your questions will be answered openly and honestly. One thing we don’t do is offer or recommend for abortions. If you have had an abortion we are here to listen with compassion and without judgement.
Our care for you will show in our words, in our sensitivity to your situation and in action. We care for our clients with respect and sensitivity. We offer relational and practical support. Please contact us for a confidential appointment.
Confidential Support... for guys
She’s pregnant. What does all this mean?
Most men who face an unexpected pregnancy are catching up with the news. If you didn’t witness the pregnancy test it may be hard to get your head around the fact that she is pregnant. That’s understandable.
You may have many questions. Ask them. Take a step forward in learning what’s going on, before losing your head to fear. That may be easier said than done, but it's possible.
Your voice is important too. She needs to hear what you have to say. Whatever your commitment to the relationship is, today is an opportunity to step up and face the reality of the changes this pregnancy has set in motion. You need to understand your options too.
You are welcome here. There is space for you.
After an Abortion…
Things have not turned out as planned. The decision may have been your choice or you may have been coerced. Regardless of the reasons for the decision, some women experience unexpected, negative or unwelcome reactions after an abortion.
What you experience after a pregnancy termination may differ from other women. For some, there may be an immediate sense of relief. Others may have regret. Some reactions may not be immediate but begin to show up days, months, or even years later. Men can also experience unexpected reactions after an abortion. It may have affected your relationship in ways that you had not expected.
You have permission to talk about this. You do not need to keep silent about the conflict or distress you are experiencing.
There is help.
You need a safe place to speak and be heard. We can offer you that safe place. Our trained support workers are here to listen to you. Others have made the journey to healing through individual or group support.
There is hope.
