The Helpline is a vital support for women who are struggling with an unplanned pregnancy. Most of the women calling us are reluctantly considering an abortion. For many this is due to their circumstances. For others it’s because of pressure from their partner, family or others.
We offer these women space to talk through their situation, their fears and their options. Our aim is to empower women to make their own fully informed decisions about pregnancy – decisions they will not come to regret.
Many of the women contacting the Helpline want to talk through the distress they are experiencing after an abortion (some had their abortion in the previous few days, others decades earlier). Often it is significantly affecting their mental health but they haven’t felt able to talk about it with anyone. We offer these women a safe place to express what they are feeling and help them find additional support if they want it.
