Avail NYC exists to be a safe haven for women and men facing an unexpected pregnancy or seeking support after an abortion. We are not a medical provider.
Being pregnant and single may feel like the end of the world, but it’s not. There are caring, non-judgmental advocates at
Avail NYC to help you and offer the support and understanding you might be needing. You aren’t alone.
The first step is finding out whether you’re pregnant or not. We can provide you with a
free, self-administered pregnancy test.
We can offer you a referral to a third-party medical center for a free to low-cost ultrasound. An ultrasound can detect the gestational age and viability of a pregnancy, important information to have when making a decision about how to proceed. It can also rule out an
ectopic pregnancy.
When facing an unexpected pregnancy while single, you may feel alone, or you may feel pressure from family or friends to choose one path or another.
At Avail NYC, our sole focus is
you and what you decide is best. We provide a linear decision-making tool that helps you consider your situation, values, and goals. You’ll have the opportunity to learn about the benefits and risks of each option you have and to talk them over with your advocate.
We want you to be informed, so we aim to provide unbiased information so you will have everything you need to make the best possible decision.
If you choose to have an abortion, Avail NYC can recommend your next steps to ensure your well-being, like encouraging that you speak with a gynecologist about STD testing, even if you think it’s unlikely you have one. Women who undergo an abortion procedure without treatment for an STD or STI are
at risk for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), a condition that can result in pain and problems with reproductive health.
Women have many different abortion experiences. For some, it creates unresolved feelings that need healing. If you find that you want to process your emotions after your abortion, regardless of what those emotions are, Avail NYC offers free, confidential one-on-one or group support with our compassionate client advocates. Many people don’t have a safe place to talk about a past abortion experience, we can provide that safe place for you.
Our
after-abortion support group curriculum incorporates “food for thought” quotes, self-care activities, journal prompts, and personal reflections. All group facilitators are staff or volunteers who uniquely understand the abortion healing process because they too have their own abortion experiences.
If you choose parenting or adoption, Avail NYC will be there for you every step of the way, providing practical support and resources. We offer pregnancy and infant-care classes, a comprehensive parenting education program, ongoing social and emotional support, and other
resources.
