Support for men & partners

Unexpected pregnancy affects men, too. But many times they don't have anyone to talk to about it.


We know there are many practical and emotional concerns that arise during this time: Could I be a good father? How can I build a healthy relationship with my partner? What should I do if I'm processing past experiences? And so much more.


We want to equip you with the resources and information you need.

You are not alone.

Pregnancy and abortion are complex experiences, and we know they affect both men and women. Whether or not you’re in a relationship with your partner, you need time and space to process on your own. You may be feeling pressure from your partner or those around you.
