Our vision is to see anyone in North Yorkshire, enabled to make an informed decision about a pregnancy choice, without fear, pre
ssure or judgment, and to support those who have been affected by pregnancy loss through miscarriage, stillbirth or termination of pregnancy, or who have experienced neonatal loss. Pregnancy choice? We provide free support to individuals and couples. Giving you space to think & to help you make an informed decision. Our specially trained volunteers will listen and provide you space to think, talk, and work through all your options – giving you the chance to explore your feelings. We provide information and signpost to local services. We aim to help you look at the three options you have: parenting, termination of pregnancy (abortion) and adoption. Post termination support: We provide free care & support giving you space to share and work through your emotions after having a termination. If you have had a termination you may experience a variety of emotions; some may be unsettling and some may not surface until months or even years later.
