Unexpected pregnancy support
You do not have to figure this out alone. If you are facing an unintended pregnancy, you can meet with a trained care expert in a safe, confidential space.
This is a space just for you. A place to pause, talk honestly, and think through what matters most to you. You'll be met with resources, compassion, and steady support as you take your next step.
After abortion support
You may be carrying thoughts or emotions after an abortion experience that feel hard to name or share. Whatever you're feeling, you do not have to carry it alone.
This is a space to reflect, process, and take meaningful next steps at your own pace. You can meet one-on-one with a trained care expert, join a small confidential group, or do both. However you choose to show up, you will be met with compassionate, judgment-free support.
Support for men and partners
If you're navigating an unexpected pregnancy or abortion experience, you may have questions, concerns, or things you are still trying to make sense of. You might be processing what happened, figuring out next steps, supporting someone you care about, or trying to balance all of it at once.
You don't have to figure this out alone. You can meet with a trained care expert in a safe, confidential space. It's a chance to talk things through, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence.
What to expect from your appointment
Each appointment is a private, one-on-one conversation with a trained care expert. You can talk through what you are thinking and feeling, without pressure or judgment.
Appointments are free and confidential, and they usually last about 45 minutes. There is no right way to show up. You decide what feels important to share, and we will walk with you from there.

What others just like you have said
The team at Avail is welcoming and understanding. Having a good support system when seeking advice or answers is extremely helpful, and they assisted in these areas perfectly.
My care expert helped me feel safe and secure in talking about feelings and decisions that I have not discussed with anyone else.
I never felt judged.
I felt 100% less stressed and anxious after the phone call I had. And that’s before even getting the help I need so I would recommend to everyone and anyone who’s in need during a pregnancy.
