She’s pregnant. It’s not planned. Before the thought of bringing a child into this world even has a chance to settle, unresolved thoughts race through her mind.
She’s pregnant. It’s not planned.
Before the thought of bringing a child into this world even has a chance to settle, unresolved thoughts race through her mind:
- My partner is going to leave me.
- My career! It’s just starting.
- We can’t afford this right now.
- Do I really want to bring a child into this world?
- It’s not his.
- My home is not safe.
- With my childhood?
- I’m scared.
- I’m too young.
- I’m too old.
- I’m done with having kids.
Real thoughts.
From real clients.
41% of our clients are women in post-abortive counselling.
Sometimes they come with their partner.
Sometimes they come alone.
One wish though is commonly shared,
“Before I made any decision, I wish I knew that Options Counselling existed.”
They wish they knew a safe space existed to untangle those thoughts.
They wish they knew financial support and practical resource were available.
Before any decision was made.
It may not have changed their choice, but it may have resolved some fears.
23% of our clients are in Options Counselling.
For many, there is safety and reassurance knowing that if they choose to have a baby, there is support that exists before, during and after birth.
Not just in the immediate days following birth but up to (and beyond) the first 12 months.
This is the power of support.
The impact that long term wrap-round services have for a pregnant woman.
That when women know there is support that extends beyond birth, hope thrives.
Having a child becomes a possibility.
When support extends beyond birth, hope thrives.
