Abortion Support Program (ASP)
If you’re here you may be looking for information about or support for an abortion.
We’re here to help.
We provide emotional and practical support to anyone navigating abortion in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Areas. We’re not abortion providers or therapists - as doulas, we fill the gaps between these roles that often result in barriers to abortion access to help things go as smoothly as possible for our clients. Below you’ll find descriptions of the ways we can help.
We don’t currently offer pregnancy options counseling ourselves, however, if you’re pregnant and want to explore your options you can find information and trusted resources on our pregnancy options support page.
