​Explore Pregnancy Options
An unexpected pregnancy can bring a mix of emotions, questions, pressures, and uncertainty about the future.
​
This support session is designed to help you explore the unique circumstances surrounding your pregnancy and understand the support and resources available to you.
​
Whether you are considering parenting, adoption, or abortion, our role is not to tell you what decision to make. We are here to listen, explore your situation with you, and help you understand what support may be available.
The Pressures You Are Carrying Are Real
Financial concerns, relationship challenges, uncertainty about the future, and a lack of support can make it difficult to know what to do next. Often, it's not just one challenge, but several pressures happening at the same time. You don't have to carry them alone. We're here to listen, help you explore what support is available, and connect you with resources that can help change what feels possible.

What happens during your support session?
Every support session is client-led.
​
When you arrive, you'll be welcomed by one of our Client Support Workers and invited to make yourself comfortable. We offer tea, coffee, water, and light snacks as we get to know you.
​
We'll explain the support we provide, answer any questions you have, and review how your information is protected. We believe transparency and confidentiality are essential to building trust.
​
A free pregnancy test is available upon request.
​
From there, the conversation is guided by you. Together, we can explore:
-
The challenges and pressures you may be facing
-
Your thoughts, feelings, and questions
-
The support systems currently available to you
-
Practical resources that may help address barriers or concerns
-
The supports available for parenting, adoption, and after abortion
​
Some people come with many questions. Others simply need a safe place to share their story. Because every situation is unique, we follow your lead and focus on what would be most helpful to you.
​
At the end of the session, we'll help connect you with relevant supports, programs, and community resources based on your individual circumstances.
"My husband and I spent time praying and talking openly about the pregnancy with each other and with trusted friends. While we were unsure about the challenges of parenting in a foreign country, we wanted to think carefully and make a choice we could live with. Options gave me a safe, judgment-free space to share my fears and worries. They were with me every step of the way."
